Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) Planning Program

What is the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants Planning Program?

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) planning program provides funding to U.S. states, regions, territories, and tribes to make meaningful plans and implement projects that meaningfully reduce climate pollution such as greenhouse gasses (GHGs) and other harmful air pollutants while also benefiting frontline communities.

The CPRG planning program funds were released to U.S. states, regions, territories, and tribes in 2024 to develop regional climate action plans. In New Mexico, six entities received this four-year grant to lead planning efforts for their jurisdictions. The other recipients include the State of New Mexico’s Environment Department, the Navajo Nation, the Pueblo of Santa Ana, the Pueblo of Sandia, and a tribal consortium led by the Pueblo of Tesuque. For the City, these funds will extend beyond the City of Albuquerque limits to include the entire Metro Statistical Area, which encompasses all communities in Sandoval, Bernalillo, Valencia, and Torrance Counties.
