Out of 500 proposals, 18 projects were chosen by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) as part of a project to address environmental issues throughout North America. CEC's North American Partnership for Environmental Community Action (NAPECA) program will provide $1.3 million in grant money, split between the recipients.
EPA reports the grants will "support community efforts to promote healthy communities and ecosystems, encourage activities that address climate change through the transition to a low carbon economy, and advance innovative projects that could assist in greening the economies of the three countries." Visit the NAPECA website to learn about the projects.
