Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG)
The Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program is a federal program from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It helps states, local governments, and Tribes plan and carry out actions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants. These pollutants affect our climate and our health.

CPRG funding comes from the Inflation Reduction Act and is divided into two parts:
- Planning including creating a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) and a Comprehensive Climate Analysis for Nevada (CCAN).
- Implementation that funds climate projects based on the PCAP.
Nevada submitted both planning documents in 2024. An implementation grant application was also submitted but was not selected. NDEP continues to use CPRG work to guide future climate planning.
Status Report
The CPRG Status Report summarizes the top emission reduction opportunities identified in the Comprehensive Climate Analysis for Nevada (CCAN). It is designed to help governments, businesses, nonprofits, and community members make informed decisions about climate actions.

Comprehensive Climate Analysis for Nevada
The Comprehensive Climate Analysis for Nevada (CCAN) is a detailed look at opportunities to reduce emissions across Nevada. It also explains the benefits of climate actions, such as:
- More jobs and economic growth
- Cleaner air
- Greater energy independence
- Stronger community health and safety
The analysis identifies strategies that Nevada could use in the future to achieve these benefits.

Implementation Grant Application
Under the Inflation Reduction Act, $4.6 billion in CPRG implementation grants were available nationwide. These grants fund greenhouse gas reduction projects that support low income and disadvantaged communities.
On April 1, 2024, Nevada applied for $99 million in partnership with seven public agencies. Although the application was not selected, the project ideas and partnerships continue to inform statewide climate planning.
Nevada’s application proposed 19 projects, focused on:
- Reducing transportation emissions
- Improving energy systems
- Supporting energy efficient buildings
- Expanding renewable energy
- Improving biking and walking options
Priority Climate Action Plan
Nevada’s Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) was approved by the U.S. EPA on March 12, 2024. It identifies priority strategies that would cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near term and provide benefits to communities most impacted by pollution.
