The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 9 has awarded a $400,000 Cooperative Agreement to the Gila River Indian Community under the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program (CFDA 66.046). The purpose of the award is to provide funding to the Gila River Indian Community 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 achieve those goals. The activities to be performed include the development, updating, and evaluation of plans to reduce climate pollution, including the development of a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) and a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP). The expected outcomes include the identification of tons of pollution (GHGs and co-pollutants) reduced over the lifetime of the measures, annually, and with respect to low-income and disadvantaged communities. There are no sub-awards included in this assistance agreement.
