Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG)

Introduction

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) is providing funding through the Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG). The CPRG was created to help State, Local, and Tribal governments develop plans and programs to reduce air pollution.

CPRG aims to use funding through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) to reduce the release of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) and other associated air pollutants. These other pollutants are often called co-pollutants. Reducing the release of GHGs helps lessen the amount humans impact the climate. Reducing the release of co-pollutants helps reduce the health impacts of air pollution.

The CPRG is divided into two funding phases: the planning and implementation. The planning phase includes two planning documents: the Priority Climate Action Plan, submitted in Spring 2024, and the Comprehensive Climate Analysis for Nevada which is currently being developed.

An implementation grant application was also submitted in spring 2024 but was ultimately not accepted thus concluding the implementation phase.
