Established through the Inflation Reduction Act, the CPRG aims to reduce climate pollution, create jobs, improve air quality and lower energy costs, H-GAC Air Quality Program Manager Andrew DeCandis said.
The program submitted a priority climate action plan last March, with the goals of cutting emissions, improving health and collaborating across the region. Now, the program is collecting feedback to see where the public’s priorities lie.
