This Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program (CFDA 66.046) provides $400,000 to the La Jolla Band of Luiseno Indians to develop or enhance climate action plans that establish greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals and strategies. The funds support the development of a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) due by March 1, 2024 and a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP) due by the end of the grant period on September 30, 2025. The tribe will work with the San Pasqual Tribe as a sub-awardee to establish climate goals and objectives, review existing energy and climate plans, and identify GHG and co-pollutant reductions. The expected outcomes include quantifying pollution reductions over the lifetime of the measures, on an annual basis, and in low-income and disadvantaged communities within the La Jolla tribal community.

This agreement provides funding under the inflation reduction act (IRA) to the LA jolla band 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. This assistance agreement provides full federal funding in the amount of $400,000. 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 development of 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.subrecipient:contractor will work with LA jolla tribe and SAN pasqual tribe, the subawardee, to establish climate action goals and objectives and will review existing energy plans and climate action/adaptation plans to establish existing conditions. Outcomes:the expected outcomes include a pcap and ccap that identifies: tons of pollution (ghgs and CO-pollutants) reduced over the lifetime of the measures; tons of pollution (ghgs and CO-pollutants) reduced annually; and tons of pollution (ghgs and CO-pollutants) reduced with respect to low-income and disadvantaged communities. Beneficiaries include the tribal community of LA jolla.
