This $971,722 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program (CFDA 66.046) provides funding to the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians (ATNI) to develop or enhance climate action plans that establish greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals and strategies for their 57 member tribes across 6 states.

The key deliverables include a Priority Climate Action Plan due in March 2024 and a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan by the end of the 4-year grant period in July 2026. Activities involve convening a Climate Pollution Reduction Grants Advisory Committee, conducting emissions assessments, and identifying priority climate mitigation measures tailored to the specific needs and opportunities of ATNI's member tribes. No sub-awards are included under this Cooperative Agreement.

This agreement provides funding under the inflation reduction act (IRA) to affiliated tribes of northwest indians to develop or enhance climate action plans that establish near-term and long-term greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals and develop strategies to address the highest priority sectors to help the tribe(s) or territory achieve those goals. Specifically, the recipient will partner with their 57 member tribes to collaborate, convene, assess, and build capacity to reduce climate pollution through the environmental protection agency ('EPA'), climate pollution reduction grants ('cprg') initiative. For the purposes of this grant, our service area includes tribal lands in the following states: oregon, washington, idaho, alaska, montana, and california.activities:in general, activities include the development, updating, and evaluation of plans to reduce climate pollution (i.e., to reduce GHG emissions and/or enhance carbon sinks). Specific activities include convene a cprg advisory committee ('cprg-AC') made up of members that have self-selected to serve, and many of whom will have technical expertise in this field, develop a priority climate action plan and comprehensive climate action plan.subrecipient:no subawards are included in this assistance agreement.outcomes:two key deliverables will be produced and submitted over the course of the four-year program period, including: a priority climate action plan (pcap), due march 1, 2024; and a comprehensive climate action plan (ccap), due at the close of the grant period.
