Background
The Air Grants Program
is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide initiative
that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse
gas emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and
the environment – particularly in disadvantaged communities.
To date, $14 billion in
cap-and-trade proceeds has been appropriated to 22 state agencies that
have distributed $8.3 billion to projects that are either completed or
underway across the state. More than half of the $8.3 billion in
implemented investments (nearly $4 billion), is benefiting the state’s
most vulnerable populations. Projects include affordable housing,
renewable energy, public transportation, zero-emission vehicles,
environmental restoration, more sustainable agriculture, recycling and
much more.
