The Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program provides nearly $5 billion in grants to states, local governments, tribes, and territories to develop and implement ambitious plans for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other harmful air pollution. Authorized under Section 60114 of the Inflation Reduction Act, this two-phase program provides $250 million for noncompetitive planning grants, and approximately $4.6 billion for competitive implementation grants.
Phase 1: Plan
This program is designed to provide flexible support to states, local governments, tribes, and territories regardless of where they are in their climate planning and implementation process.
Phase 2: Implement
EPA held two competitions for $4.6 billion for CPRG implementation grants – a general competition and a competition only for tribes and territories.
