The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $875,335 Cooperative Agreement under the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program (CFDA 66.046) to the Midwest Tribal Energy Resources Association (MTERA) to develop climate action plans for eight Native American tribes in the Midwest region. The four-year project aims to help these tribes establish near-term and long-term greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals and strategies across key sectors. Key deliverables include a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) due in March 2024 and a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP) at the end of the grant period. The plans will quantify expected GHG and co-pollutant emission reductions, with a focus on benefits to low-income and disadvantaged communities. MTERA will provide sub-awards to support administrative, educational, capacity building, and outreach activities for the participating tribes, which include the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Ho-Chunk Nation, Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, and Oneida Nation.
