Comprehensive Climate Action Plans (CCAPs)

Forty-six states are developing Comprehensive Climate Action Plans (CCAPs) in 2024-2025 as a result of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program, with another 173 CCAPS simultaneously led by tribes and metropolitan areas. These plans will set in motion several decades of climate policy and investment, and they represent a critical moment to shape decarbonization pathways. The resources on this page synthesize timely information and targeted opportunities to help fishermen center fishery friendly climate action in their state CCAP processes.

Learn and Take Action

The Fishery Friendly Climate Action Campaign is available to support state-based and local groups of fishermen make the most of their opportunity to engage in state-level CCAP processes by:

• Tracking state-level CCAP processes and providing you with cues, tips, and tricks on when and how to engage in these processes for the most meaningful and efficient impact;

• Being a thought partner for you as you strategize on how your own group will engage in these processes;

• If desired, liaise on your behalf with state-level CCAP planning bodies to convey your priorities and/or obtain more information to help you engage;

• Share knowledge and best practices gleaned from fishermen’s participation in other state-level CCAP processes with you and help you integrate these lessons into your own CCAP strategy; and

• If there is sufficient interest from multiple states, we will convene an interstate community of practice to support collaborative learning and strategizing across the fishing industry.
