The Climate Pollution Reduction Grant Program is one of many federal funding opportunities created under the Inflation Reduction Act and run through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. As one of the outputs of this grant program, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and Oregon Department of Energy is developing a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan for the state. A central pillar of the CCAP is forecasting the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions projected to occur under Oregon’s existing policies and incentive programs—including the impact of Inflation Reduction Act funds.
This effort will also evaluate new actions that could be implemented across Oregon’s economy to meet the state’s GHG reduction goals, while continuing to grow Oregon’s workforce and improve the quality of life for those who live work and play in Oregon. To inform this work, we are requesting feedback on what your local jurisdiction is already doing or intends to do to implement climate-related policies, programs and investing federal funds to reduce GHG emissions.
This information will enable the state to better understand Oregon’s climate progress and identify policy and funding gaps across all economic sectors. We understand similar requests may have been made and that there are many ongoing efforts in Oregon to address climate action. The intent with this plan to acknowledge and consolidate these efforts, opportunities, and gaps. This report may be used to prioritize climate efforts and seek funding sources. Feedback Surveys are due by February 20th, 2025. The survey is intended to be filled out once per local jurisdiction in collaboration across programs.
