With $5 billion in federal funding for climate planning through the Inflation Reduction Act’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG), nearly every state is developing or revising their strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to inform their Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP). 

Ensuring that the measures included in each state’s PCAP are science-based, equitable, and ambitious yet feasible is essential to stay on track for Paris-aligned emissions reductions. Further, a robust PCAP sets the stage for each state’s CPRG implementation funding, which is set to be awarded by fall of 2024 and is based on the projects submitted in the PCAP. 

We invited a panel of experts to explore best practices for states utilizing CPRG funding for effective and equitable climate planning — both for state offices developing their plans and for advocates, policymakers, and other stakeholders supporting and providing input for them. Register today!

• Phillip Assmus, Senior Policy Specialist at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) State and Local Climate and Energy Program
• Justin Balik, State Program Director at Evergreen Action
