Regional Resilience Planning and Implementation Grant Program

The RRGP funds projects led by partnerships that involve multiple jurisdictions. RRGP will fund these partnerships to work together to address the most significant climate change risks in their regions, especially in communities that are most vulnerable to climate change impacts. These impacts could include wildfires, rising sea levels, droughts, floods, increasing temperatures, and extreme heat events.

The RRGP funds two project types: planning and implementation. The RRGP also funds capacity-building efforts that support each project type. All projects must have a regional focus and support communities most vulnerable to climate change. The RRGP can fund a variety of projects and gives regional partnerships flexibility to propose projects that best meet their region’s specific climate resilience needs.

Key Priorities

• Support regional projects aligned with ICARP priorities that improve regional climate resilience and reduce climate risks from wildfire, sea level rise, drought, flood, increasing temperatures, and extreme heat events.
• Support projects or actions that address the greatest climate risks in the region, particularly in the most vulnerable communities.
• Address gaps in climate resilience funding by supporting sustainable and cohesive climate-resilience projects.
• Support equitable outcomes
