Beyond the Checkbox: Making Your CPRG Status Report Work for You
Use the flexibility of the CPRG Status Report to work for you.
15 October 2026
Every CPRG planning grantee must submit a Status Report before the end of their four-year grant period. Here is what the EPA requires, what has changed since the CCAP, and pathways for turning the report into momentum for local climate action.
Are you getting ready to prepare your CPRG Status Report and wondering what to include, what information to collect, or where to start? Or maybe you’re already on your way but realizing you need a little extra support to meet the deadline?
In this webinar, Senior Consultant Kayla Rakes and US Lead Carol Fraser walk through what’s required, what’s optional, and where the reporting process can move your community’s climate goals forward.
In this webinar we discuss:
- Your questions and challenges!
- Meeting the EPA’s requirements
- Integrating policy shifts and changing landscapes (e.g. data centers, fuel efficiency standard rollbacks, repeal of Inflation Reduction Act funding)
- Prioritizing and kick-starting measures through the reporting process
- Improving your CCAP to be more tailored to your community
