El Paso, TEXAS — The public is invited to provide input on the Region’s Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) by taking a simple online survey which is available online in both English and Spanish now through Friday, February 9, 2024. All are encouraged to review materials from the Climate Open House Meeting HERE which was held on Wednesday, January 24, 2024, and take the community survey.

Information collected from these surveys will help the project team identify the types of projects to include in the PCAP, community benefits to prioritize, and implementation ready projects the public would like to be included in the PCAP.
To be eligible to apply for Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) competitive implementation grants, the Region must first develop and submit a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) following U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) CPRG program requirements. In addition, to qualify for this competitive grant process, the Region must submit its PCAP by March 1, 2024.
Once the PCAP is finalized, emphasis will move into creating a Regional Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP). The development of the CCAP will commence early Spring 2024 and will include a robust public engagement approach inclusive of residents from across the Paso Del Norte Region. With the community’s help, the City aims to release the Comprehensive Climate Action plan in Fall 2025.
###
The Paso Del Norte Climate Action Plan will span an area covering 10 municipalities, 2 counties, 15 census-designated places and unincorporated communities, and 5,585 square miles of territory. Although this project is being led by the City of El Paso under the preview of El Paso’s Climate and Sustainability Office, it is an effort that will inclusively and equitably benefit the entire region.
