Over the past two months, over 100 cities, states, and Tribes have filed Priority Climate Action Plans (PCAPs). They outline âshovel-readyâ actions that local governments can take to reduce climate pollution. What do these PCAPs mean for climate action in the US?
The climate crisis can be daunting, but progress is being made. Here are four positive climate action trends to pay attention to in 2024.
The White House has issued a memo detailing how climate-economic modeling can improve in order to support more effective climate action decision-making.  Based on our experience conducting modeling for over 100 climate action plans across the Americas, weâve identified the same areas of improvement and integrated them into SSGâs modeling tools.
Priority Climate Action Plans (PCAP) empower governments to act while they plan, rather than waiting for a plan to act. How do we make sure we are acting smart, while acting fast?
SSG collaborated with Lakewood, Ohio and Ames, Iowa to identify the role of specific federal funds through detailed financial modeling. They are, to our knowledge, the first municipalities to account for federal funding from the Infrastructure Bill and Inflation Reduction Act in their climate action plansâsetting them up to save hundreds of millions of dollars by taking climate action.
Join us on April 25 for a webinar that will provide guidance on applying for Inflation Reduction Act grants for advancing climate action. Learn about how to design an effective climate action plan to make you competitive for a slice of the $4.6-billion set aside for implementing climate actions.
State and municipal governments across the US are developing work plans and budgets to secure a slice of the $250 million allocated by the Inflation Reduction Act for climate action planning. We share five best practices from our time developing climate action plans with over 100 communities.
