CLEAN AIR TAMPA BAY CLIMATE ACTION PLANS

Overview 

The Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council (TBRPC) received the $1 million planning grant funding from the EPA, through Phase I of the CPRG program, to lead the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater MSA climate action plan development. Phase I is a four year grant period that requires the recipient to develop a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP), a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP), and a Status Report. 

From August 2023-February 2024 the PCAP was developed with technical assistance from ICLEI, University of South Florida, and Sustany. After the PCAP was published the following March, development of the CCAP began. The PCAP is considered a first-phase assessment, and is fully integrated into the CCAP, which was completed in February, 2026.
