Construction, renovation, or expansion of co-digestion facilities to preprocess and digest food material into biofuels or bioenergy.
The Equitable Building Decarbonization Program funds two efforts: the direct install program and an incentives program. Both programs incentivize installation of all-electric appliances, energy efficiency and weatherization measures, and related building upgrades.
The Inclusive, Diverse, Equitable, Accessible, and Local (IDEAL) Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Workforce Pilot funds projects that support ZEVs, ZEV infrastructure, and ZEV-related commercial technologies in California, with focus on priority populations.
Adoption of on-site renewable energy technologies (such as wind and solar) at agricultural operations.
Establishment, enhancement, and expansion of community spaces and parks, tree planting, green infrastructure in streets and alleys, and the construction of active transportation infrastructure.
Funds projects to prevent food waste from being generated and/or becoming landfill waste, promotes distribution of rescued food to people, and requires food waste residuals to be composted or digested when available.
Provides grants for the construction, renovation, or expansion of facilities to preprocess, digest, or compost organics into compost, soil amendments, biofuels, or bioenergy.
Loans to fund construction, renovation, or expansion of facilities for preprocessing, digesting, or composting organics, or the preprocessing or manufacturing of value-added finished products using recycled fiber, plastic, or glass.
The construction, renovation, or expansion of facilities to process or manufacture value-added products from California-derived, newly diverted fiber, plastic, or glass waste.
The purpose of this competitive grant program is to lower overall greenhouse gas emissions by expanding and improving waste diversion in California through reuse.
Capacity planning, collection, edible food recovery, education and outreach, enforcement and inspection, program evaluation/gap analysis, procurement requirements, and record keeping.
Transformative capital improvements that are modernizing California’s intercity, commuter, and urban rail systems, bus and ferry transit systems, to significantly reduce GHG emissions, vehicle miles traveled, and congestion.
Natural shoreline projects that restore wetlands, watersheds and coastal habitats, and conserve land. Projects protect existing natural lands, restore or enhance habitats to enhance resilience to climate change for wildlife, maintain vegetative communities that sequester carbon, and provide habitat stability and resistance to natural disasters such as flooding, wildfire, or protection from sea level rise.
Protects communities and natural resources from sea level rise, with a focus on adaptation of public infrastructure along the coast including urban waterfronts, ports, and ecosystems.
This program funds the restoration of California wetlands and watersheds.
The California Workforce Development Board will develop industry-based, worker-focused training partnerships that connect California’s “high road” employers with existing established workforce development programs to build skills and capacity for training and employment within various employment sectors.
The purpose of this new California Natural Resources Agency program is to increase local capacity in the northern, central, and southern regions of the State to develop region-wide plans and shovel-ready projects for forest restoration, fire protection, and watershed improvements in support of the California Forest Carbon Plan.
Commercial and institutional water-energy efficiency programs or projects, and residential water-energy efficiency programs or projects benefiting disadvantaged communities.
Local assistance grants to fire departments within High Hazard Severity Zones to pre-position emergency services crews and equipment during red flag events in order to protect communities from wildfires.
Funding for affordable housing, active transportation, transit, and solar photovoltaic systems.
The Strategic Growth Council’s Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation (SALC) Program protects critical agricultural lands from conversion to more GHG-intensive residential uses by facilitating conservation easements and strategy plans that result in direct protection of at-risk lands.
Community Assistance for Climate Equity (CACE) is a suite of capacity building programs that aim to equip underinvested communities at the frontlines of the climate crisis with the tools to access funding for climate adaptation, mitigation, and resilience.
California Coastal Commission projects facilitate GHG emission reductions through land use and planning to address the impacts of climate change through the development of new or amendment of existing Local Coastal Programs, which are local land use plans for the coastal zone of California.
Through the Training and Workforce Development Program, the California Conservation Corps employs young adults for a year of service resulting in job skills and work experience to launch meaningful careers. Corpsmembers implement forest fuel reduction, habitat restoration, and energy efficiency projects which reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Advanced Technology Freight Demonstration Projects provide funding for pre-commercial demonstrations of advanced vehicles, engines, equipment, and transportation systems. These advanced technology projects demonstrate zero-emission or near zero-emission vehicles and equipment that use less petroleum and emit less GHG emissions.
The Strategic Growth Council’s Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Program funds community-driven, collaborative projects and planning activities that integrate a variety of California Climate Investments project types to create transformative change at the neighborhood level.
This program provides a variety of clean mobility projects (including car share, bike share, vanpool, and ridesourcing) in disadvantaged communities using advanced clean vehicles (zero-emission or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) and associated infrastructure.
Vouchers toward the purchase of zero-emission equipment used in off-road freight transport (such as forklifts, transport refrigeration units, gantry cranes, and terminal trucks).
Vouchers for the purchase of zero-emission, trucks and buses, including funding for charging or fueling infrastructure.
Rebates for the purchase or lease of new, eligible light-duty vehicles, including electric, fuel-cell, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
