The Rosebud Sioux Tribe (RST) received a $371,750 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program (CFDA 66.046). The funding will support the development of a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) by March 1, 2024, and a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP) by the end of the 4-year grant period. The PCAP will include a greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory, quantitative GHG reduction measures, cost-benefit analysis, and implementation plan. The final CCAP will detail the Tribe's priority GHG sources/sinks, emission reduction goals, and strategies to address the highest priority sectors such as transportation, building heating, and agriculture. The project aims to identify additional revenue streams to fund implementation of the mitigation strategies developed through the planning process. Expected outcomes include quantifying tons of GHG and co-pollutants reduced, as well as increasing community engagement and buy-in on climate action.
