Welcome to the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants Program

Breaking News: More Than 200 Tribes and Territories Join the Fight Against Climate Change

Today, on May 6, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency revealed a major milestone in the battle against climate change. Over 200 Tribes, along with American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, have unveiled their climate action plans with financial backing from President Biden’s Investing in America agenda.

Historic Collaboration for a Greener Future

Under the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program, these Tribes and territories are developing strategies to combat harmful pollution and address environmental justice issues. With a focus on building a clean energy future, this initiative aims to create a sustainable economy while safeguarding the environment.

Empowering Communities Through Climate Action

Climate change disproportionately impacts Tribes, making this collaborative effort crucial in mitigating its effects. Thanks to President Biden’s bold agenda, this marks the first time such extensive climate planning has been achieved across Tribes, offering a unique opportunity to combat the climate crisis for present and future generations.

The Largest Climate Investment in U.S. History

Enabled by the Inflation Reduction Act, the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program is the largest climate investment in U.S. history. By fostering community-driven solutions and accelerating the transition to clean energy, this initiative is a key component of President Biden’s Justice40 Initiative, prioritizing benefits for marginalized communities.

Strategic Planning for a Sustainable Future

Through the program’s initial phase, $250 million in grants were distributed to develop ambitious climate action plans. These plans, focusing on high-priority activities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, set the stage for the next phase of the program: $4.6 billion in competitive implementation grants.

Paving the Way for a Greener Tomorrow

As grant recipients prepare Comprehensive Climate Action Plans, the focus is on Reducing Emissions across various sectors, promoting public health, and creating new economic opportunities. With technical support from the EPA, these efforts aim to facilitate a transition to a low-carbon economy while advancing environmental justice.
