Learn More and Participate: Funding Guidelines

CARB is currently in the process of updating the Funding Guidelines for Agencies Administering California Climate Investments. The Funding Guidelines provide guidance developing programs in a way that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, provide project benefits, and track and report benefits, including benefits to priority populations.

Learn more about the update, attend a workshop, and provide input on potential updates to the Funding Guidelines. Share your thoughts on these questions and more:

  • How can the Funding Guidelines be made more accessible and usable as a resource in program development and implementation?

  • What are the critical missing details, clarifications, or gaps that need to be addressed?

  • Who else should CARB engage with in the update process?
