In 2023, the EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program provided $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 provided $250 million for noncompetitive planning grants, and will provide approximately $4.6 billion for competitive implementation grants.
MARC, as lead agency and grantee for the Kansas City region, received $1 million to complete Phase 1 of the CPRG program. In this phase, MARC must produce and submit to EPA a Priority Climate Action Plan (due March 1, 2024) and a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (due August 1, 2025). At the webinar MARC will review the Priority Climate Action Plan for review & feedback.
Thursday, Feb. 15, 2024
Noon to 1 p.m.
Virtual (Zoom)
The MARC Environment team will host a webinar to share detailed elements of the Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP). During the webinar, staff will be prepared to answer questions and welcome any feedback.
The PCAP is a critical prerequisite element to the region’s EPA Climate Pollution Reduction Implementation Grant that is due April 1, 2024. While the PCAP is more general in nature, the elements in the PCAP will largely mirror the contents of the grant. The PCAP is due March 1, 2024.
