This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 provides $154,029 in funding under the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program (CFDA 66.046) to the Habematolel Pomo of Upper Lake, a federally recognized Indian Tribe in Upper Lake, California. The purpose of the award is to develop or enhance the Tribe's climate action plans, including a Priority Climate Action Plan due by March 1, 2024 and a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan due by the end of the 4-year grant period on April 30, 2026. The climate action plans will establish near-term and long-term greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals and strategies to address the Tribe's highest priority sectors to achieve those goals. The intended outcomes include quantifying the tons of GHG and co-pollutants reduced, and increasing community education on climate pollutants and emission reduction measures.

This agreement provides funding under the inflation reduction act (IRA) to habematolel 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 develop 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. This agreement provides full federal funding in the amount of $154,029. 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 the 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: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. 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. Other expected outcomes include a community that is more educated about climate pollutants and how they can be reduced. The intended beneficiaries include the habematolel pomo of upper lake community.
