The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program allocated $5 billion in grants to states, local governments, tribes, and territories. This program, which includes planning and implementation phases, funds ambitious plans and actions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Phase 1 Planning

The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency is leading the Phase 1 CPRG planning grant for the Puget Sound region covering King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. We are also coordinating closely with the Washington State Climate Partnership, comprised of the Departments of Commerce and Ecology, which is leading the state’s CPRG effort, to maximize emission reduction impacts.

CPRG Phase 1 planning funding was used to create two climate action plans and related information and resources.

Priority Climate Action Plan The Priority Climate Action Plan ("priority climate plan") was submitted to EPA on March 1, 2024. The priority climate plan is a narrative report listing near-term, high-priority, implementation-ready measures to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution. The Final Puget Sound Region Priority Climate Plan document can be viewed online here.

Comprehensive Climate Action Plan The Comprehensive Climate Action Plan ("climate plan") was submitted to EPA on November 25, 2025. The climate plan provides detailed analyses of all significant GHG sources and sectors within the region, a comprehensive list of strategies and actions to reduce greenhouse gases, and establishes near-term and long-term emission reduction goals. The Final Puget Sound Region Climate Plan document and other supporting information can be viewed on our Climate Plan Resource Hub.

Climate Plan Resource Hub

The Final Puget Sound Region Climate Plan is a roadmap for decision-makers in King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties to mitigate climate change.  The Resource Hub contains links for easy access to the region and state climate plans, summarized plan components, and other resources to help decision-makers understand, share, and use the climate plan.

Phase 2 Implementation

CPRG Phase 2 funding awards for implementation projects were announced in July 2024.  The EPA funded a regional application led by King County, awarding $49,999,975 to reduce building emissions in King, Pierce, Kitsap, and Snohomish Counties. Learn more about the award here.
