Biden Administration Announces $2B EPA Grants for Climate Change and Pollution Combat

The Environmental Protection Agency expects to fund 170 projects aimed at making communities more resilient to climate impacts and reducing pollution.

The Biden administration has opened $2 billion in grants to help disadvantaged communities combat climate change and pollution.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) expects to fund a total of 170 projects with this money, which comes from the climate, tax, and health care bill passed by the Democrats last year.
The grants will fund projects that make communities more resilient to climate impacts, prevent, monitor or clean up pollution, and invest in low- and no-emission energy projects.
The application process for these grants will be open for a year and applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
The announcement comes as Republicans have targeted EPA programs aimed at improving environmental equity and combating climate change for spending cuts.
