This includes participating in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program under the Inflation Reduction Act. The CPRG provides $250 million in planning grants and $4.6 billion in implementation grants for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Visit the CPRG Archives Page to see previous outreach webinars, stakeholder sessions, and updates.
