EPA hosted the Investing in America: Climate Action Funding Fair online the week of August 7, 2023. Representatives from various federal agencies, academia, and non-profit organizations presented their insights on key funding programs and shared ideas on opportunities for leveraging complementary incentives.

The fair was a virtual series of events designed to assist states, local governments, Tribes, and territories to effectively identify, navigate, and prepare to leverage the many federal funding opportunities available as they develop climate action plans as required under EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program. Attendees gained a better understanding of the many funding opportunities available to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as how they may interact to achieve greater outcomes.

A Keynote address from special guest John Podesta, Senior Advisor to the President for Clean Energy Innovation and Implementation, kicked off the first session on Monday following welcoming remarks by Joseph Goffman, Principal Deputy Assistant Administrator for EPA's Office of Air and Radiation. Each of the 90 – 120 minute sessions included a panel discussion, agency-specific presentations, and a Q&A session.  

Joining EPA were U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), U.S. Department of Interior (DOI), U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), and U.S. Department of Treasury (Treasury).
