What is North Dakota's Climate Initiative?
North Dakota began developing a sustainability plan in 2023 with a deliverable date of December 2025.
In 2023, former Governor Burgum designated the DEQ as the lead agency for managing the Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program, funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The DEQ received $3 million in federal grants to develop two key plans: the Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP), due by March 1, 2024, and the Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP), due by December 1, 2025. For more details, visit the EPA's CPRG program page.
The resulting Sustainability Plan will outline innovative strategies aimed at reducing emissions while supporting vibrant communities across the state.
