EPA Hosting Online Investing In America - Climate Action Funding Fair Starting Aug. 7

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is hosting a series of webinars the week of August 7 on Investing in America - Climate Action Funding Fair.

The webinars are divided into funding areas: Electric Power; Agriculture and Working Lands; Tribal Programs; Transportation; Buildings; and Industrial and Waste.

Representatives from various federal agencies and non-profit organizations will present their insights on key funding programs and share ideas on opportunities for leveraging complementary incentives. 

The fair is a virtual series of events designed to assist states, local governments, Tribes, and territories to effectively identify, navigate, and prepare to leverage the many federal funding opportunities available as they develop climate action plans as required under EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program. 

Attendees will gain a better understanding of the many funding opportunities available to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as how they may interact to achieve greater outcomes.  

After a welcome keynote, each of the 90 – 120 minute sessions will include agency-specific presentations, a panel discussion, and a Q&A session. 

All the sessions will be recorded and available for viewing after the event.
