California Climate Investment Funding Portal

Proceeds from the Cap and Trade Program support a wide range of programs and projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support major economic, environmental and public health benefits for Californians, including benefits to the most disadvantaged communities, low-income communities, and low-income households.

The Legislature and Governor appropriate money from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) to State agencies through the Budget process.
