This webinar will highlight strategies for accessing funding under EPA's Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) Program. The CPR: Resuscitate the Climate – Stop Trashing It!

Campaign is hosting this event with the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, Zero Waste USA, and the National Recycling Coalition. Presenters will cover sample Priority Climate Action Plans (PCAPs), a key step in qualifying for funding, and strategies for receiving high scores on implementation project proposals.

EPA's CPRG Program has $4.6 billion in competitive grants to fund projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, benefit local communities, and deliver cleaner air. Nearly every state, dozens of metro areas, and many territories and tribes are drafting PCAPs with strategies and projects to serve as a framework for competitive CPRG applications.

The mission of the CPR Campaign is to uplift waste reduction and materials conservation projects for this historic funding opportunity. A zero-waste framework embedding waste prevention, reuse, recycling, and composting strategies rooted in and serving local communities will protect the climate while enhancing social equity, economic opportunities, food systems resilience, and quality of life.
