Event Overview

After the Iandmark passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, federal funding opportunities for regional climate action initiatives (like the EPA Climate Pollution Reduction Grant or CPRG program) have never been more abundant – but not all governments and agencies are prepared to bring their climate action initiatives to a regional scale. 

Join us for a free webinar on July 27th in which participants will learn:

  • How to best leverage federal funding for regional action
  • How to navigate climate analysis, planning, and action across state lines
  • What regional climate inventory veterans know as keys to regional success. 

You’ll hear from Marci Henson, Director of Clark County, NV’s Department of Environment and Sustainability; Maia Davis, Senior Environmental Planner for the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments; and Mike Steinhoff, KLA’s Director of Climate Analysis. They will share their experiences with the All-In Clark County Sustainability and Climate Action Plan, Metropolitan Washington Climate and Energy Action Plan, and other regional initiatives.
