Cooperative Agreement 00E03497

The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community was awarded a $140,000 Cooperative Agreement by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program (CFDA 66.046). The funding will enable the Tribe to develop a Priority Climate Action Plan and a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan over the 2-year award period ending June 30, 2025. The key deliverables include plans that establish near-term and long-term greenhouse gas emission reduction goals and strategies to address the highest priority sectors within the Tribe's jurisdiction and surrounding community. The intended outcomes are to quantify projected greenhouse gas and co-pollutant reductions over the lifetime of the measures, on an annual basis, and with respect to low-income and disadvantaged populations.
