City Receives Southern California Gas Company Climate Grant

The City of Pico Rivera is pleased to be one of three local governments to receive this year’s Southern California Gas Company Climate Adaptation & Resiliency Grant for $50,000. The purpose of the grant is to aid with climate change impact reductions. The City of Pico Rivera plans to use this funding to develop a Climate Adaptation Plan (CAP) in order to quantify past, current, and future actions towards climate change mitigation. The CAP will provide a clear path to reducing GHG emissions across several factors including: on-road transportation, energy use, solid waste, short-lived climate pollutants, and off-road equipment. The City understands the importance of responding to the needs of the community with solutions to all of the issues surrounding health and well-being while using an approach rooted in social equity and environmental justice.
