TRAINING, TOOLS AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

EPA provided a series of trainings for state, metro area, Tribe, and territory CPRG planning grant recipients. The trainings are grouped and organized based on the CPRG workplan elements as referenced in the program guidance and prioritized based on the required elements for the Priority Climate Action Plans due in early 2024. Each training is 1-1.5 hours long including Q&A.   We encourage you to visit the CPRG Training, Tools and Technical Assistance webpage to watch the training recordings and view presentation slides and additional Q&A documents for questions that were not answered during the recorded Q&A session of the training.
