The Details of Climate Pollution Reduction Grant
What you need for Climate Pollution Reduction Grant
The Office of Climate Innovation and Resilience is partnering with the U.S. EPA on the Massachusetts Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) – a program for states, cities, tribes, and territories to plan how Massachusetts can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and maximize federal funding investment.
Working with municipalities, regional planning agencies, and other partners across Massachusetts, the Office of Climate Innovation and Resilience is using the CPRG process to address three priorities:
- Analyze the benefits and costs of measures that reduce climate pollution in order to prioritize action to address climate pollution that delivers the greatest community benefits and most efficiently utilizes state and federal investment.
- Plan to optimally match the full range of federal climate funding available under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act with the Commonwealth’s climate actions.
- Deepen state government’s engagement with communities across the Commonwealth around climate investments.
Public Engagement
The Climate Office is launching the next phase of the CPRG process with a stakeholder meeting focused on developing the Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP)—the final deliverable required by CPRG. Meetings will be held virtually, with multiple language translation options. Materials and translated documents will be posted at this location prior to or immediately following stakeholder meetings.
Our second CCAP stakeholder meeting will focus on the methodology for evaluating the greenhouse gas (GHG) impacts of actions to address climate pollution. Future stakeholder meetings will discuss additional benefits and impacts, such as public health, job creation and ecosystem services.
When: December 17, 2024, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Partners
The Office of Climate Innovation and Resilience is pleased to partner with three Regional Planning Agencies in the Commonwealth, who also received EPA CPRG planning funding, including the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission, the Metropolitan Area Planning Council, and the Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District. We are collaborating to align climate priorities for the states, engage Massachusetts communities, and to maximize our opportunities for federal funding.
