Phase 1 of the CPRG program provides flexible support to states, local governments, tribes, and territories regardless of where they are in their climate planning and implementation process. Planning grant recipients are using the funding to design climate action plans that incorporate a variety of measures to reduce GHG emissions from across their economies in six key sectors (electricity generation, industry, transportation, buildings, agriculture/natural and working lands, and waste management). All planning grantees must submit the following deliverables to EPA:

  1. Priority Climate Action Plan -- due March 1, 2024 (states and Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs)) and due April 1, 2024 (tribes, tribal consortia, and territories)

  2. Comprehensive Climate Action Plan – due two years after planning grant award, or approximately mid-2025, the CCAP is due. The plan should cover greenhouse gas reduction measures across all emissions sources and and all sectors of the region. The CCAP will establish near-term and long-term greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. This will build on the PCAP and should add additional require analysis to suport robus implementation.

State and MSA grantees must also submit a Status Report at the end of the 4-year grant period (approximately mid-2027).
