Climate Pollution Reduction Grants - PCAP/CCAP
Climate Pollution Reduction Grants - PCAP/CCAP
Fresno COG received $1 million from the EPA’s Climate Protection Reduction Grants (CPRG) program to prepare plans to reduce greenhouse gases in the Fresno County region. The program requires development of two plans, a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) and a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP).
During the PCAP phase, Fresno COG, as well as other regional, state and local agencies have received grant funds to develop plans that identify and inventory emission reduction measures, quantify the measures and create a benefit analysis for affected populations. The PCAP is due on March 1, 2024. Completion of this initial plan is a necessary to allow our region to compete for implementation grants during the second phase of the program.
During that second (CCAP) phase cities and the county may apply for grant funding to implement emission reduction measures identified in the PCAP. There is a total of $4.6 billion available nationally for implementation, and grant applications will be evaluated by EPA on a competitive basis.
