Funding Alert: Climate Pollution Reduction Grant

DOEE has received a Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) for climate action planning from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The CPRG program is funded under the Inflation Reduction Act. CPRG is closely aligned with the District’s climate goals, including reaching carbon neutrality by 2045, and ensuring an equitable transition to a clean economy. Being carbon neutral means in any given year, we cannot send more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than we remove. The CPRG planning grant and process will cover all of the District and include ways to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) and other harmful air pollution in two phases: 

• Development of a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) to identify near-term and high impact projects to reduce GHGs and other harmful air pollutants  

• Development of a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP) to implement a longer-term District-wide plan to reduce GHGs and other harmful air pollutants
