Climate Smart Communities Grant Program Webinar

The Climate Smart Communities grant program provides 50/50 matching grants to counties (and NYC boroughs), cities, towns and villages of the State of New York for eligible climate adaptation and mitigation projects. The 2017 round is now available through the Consolidated Funding Application. Applications are due on July 28, 2017.

In 2017, $9.5 million is available for implementation projects related to flood risk reduction, extreme event preparation, reduction of vehicle miles travelled (VMT), reduction of food waste, reduction of landfill methane leakage, and reduction of hydrofluorocarbons emissions from refrigeration and other air conditioning equipment.

In addition, $500,000 is available for certification projects that advance adaptation, land use, transportation, and organic waste management planning, inventory and assessment actions aligned with Climate Smart Communities Certification requirements.

We are offering a webinar on the grant program on Thursday, May 25 from 10:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.

During the webinar, staff from NYSDEC's Office of Climate Change will describe grant program requirements, eligible project types, application evaluation and scoring, and time will be reserved for participants to ask questions and get answers to help them formulate project ideas and put together a grant application.
