Program objective

EPA is providing grants to States, Locals, Federally Recognized Indian Tribal Governments, Native American Organizations, and U.S. Territories and possessions for the planning of and development of ambitious climate action and air pollution reduction plans and to implement measures from those plans. These grants are provided under Section 60114 of the Inflation Reduction Act, Climate Pollution Reduction Grants, 42 U.S. Code § 7437 (or Public Law 117–169, title VI, Aug. 16, 2022, 136 Stat. 2076), which amended the Clean Air Act (CAA) by creating Section 137 for Greenhouse Gas Air Pollution Plans and Implementation Grants. Section 137 of CAA authorizes the EPA to fund climate pollution planning grants and climate pollution implementation grants to states, air pollution control agencies, municipalities, tribes, or a group of two or more of these entities. Specifically, the CPRG grant program provides funding of $250 million for planning grants to eligible entities to develop ambitious climate action and air pollution reduction plans and approximately $4.6 billion to implement projects from those plans. Once completed, these plans will establish greenhouse gas reduction targets and lay out a roadmap for expeditious implementation of investment-ready policies, programs, and projects to reduce GHG emissions.

Additional program information

    In FY2024, EPA completed awarding planning grants to states, municipalities, Tribes and territories. In March/April 2024, planning grantees submitted their first deliverable for the planning grants, the Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP). EPA reviewed and published these PCAPs here: https://www.epa.gov/inflation-reduction-act/priority-climate-action-plans-states-msas-tribes-and-territories Furthermore, EPA initiated the process for planning grantees to complete their second deliverable under the planning grants, the Comprehensive Climate Action Plans. These plans are due December 2025. EPA held a workshop with planning grantees in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in September 2024 to provide guidance and training for completing these climate action plans.
