Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG)

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $1 million Climate Pollution Reduction Grant to the City of San Antonio to develop a regional climate plan. The Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG), in partnership with the City of San Antonio, is leading the effort to create this plan that will serve as a framework for a more sustainable, resilient and economically competitive region.

This Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP) for our region is called the Alamo Area Climate Plan and covers AACOG’s 13-county service area. It provides a roadmap that includes diverse actions and strategies that local governments and public and private sector partners can pursue to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that impact our air quality and that also:

  • Protect our environment
  • Strengthen community resilience
  • Improve public health
  • Drive sustainable economic growth and development

The first step in the process was to develop an initial Alamo Area Priority Climate Action Plan (PDF), and the final step in the process was the development of the Alamo Area Climate Action Plan.

After more than a year of engagement with stakeholders and subject matter experts, the draft Alamo Area Climate Plan is available for public review and comment. Your voice matters in shaping a healthier, more sustainable future for our region.

We invite you to review the draft Alamo Area Climate Plan, view a recent virtual meeting and share your feedback, comments and suggestions. The public comment period will close on February 28, 2026.
