The Memphis and Shelby County Division of Planning and Development's Office of Sustainability and Resilience (OSR) has partnered with 19 committed jurisdictions to produce the Mid-South Climate Action Plan: Priority Reduction Measures to support investment in policies, practices, and technologies that can reduce pollutant emissions, create high-quality jobs, spur economic growth, and enhance the quality of life in the Mid-South region.
This project is funded by the EPA's Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program and is a product of Phase 1 of the program in which EPA distributed non-competitive planning grants to states, the most populous metropolitan areas, and tribal governments.
OSR will continue work under this program and will be publishing a comprehensive climate action plan in 2025 establishing targets and strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors as well as applying for a CPRG Phase 2 competitive implementation grant.
