EPA’s Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) Directory organizes data collected from 211 PCAPs submitted by states, Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), Tribes, and territories under EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program. PCAPs are a compilation of each jurisdiction’s identified priority actions (or measures) to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The directory presents information from more than 30 data categories related to GHG inventories, GHG reduction measures, benefits for low-income and disadvantaged communities (LIDACs), and other PCAP elements.

The directory is designed to help CPRG planning grantees identify and leverage approaches within PCAPs to support the development of their Comprehensive Climate Action Plans (CCAPs) due under the CPRG program.

The PCAP Directory has three components:

• Searchable data tables. PCAP data from states, MSAs, Tribes, and territories is presented in tables focused on PCAP elements (e.g., GHG reduction measures) that can be used to browse, filter, and extract information from the directory’s full dataset. Tables include page number citations and hyperlinks as appropriate to quickly access the primary source materials for each entry.
• Summary tables. Summary tables highlight patterns and trends within the PCAP Directory data (e.g., economic sectors with the largest number of GHG reduction measures) across and within different jurisdictional levels.
• Downloadable spreadsheets. The data collected by EPA from state, MSA, Tribal, and territorial PCAPs is available to download. This includes data featured in the searchable tables, data used to create the summary tables, and other PCAP data that does not appear in the directory web pages.
