The objective of the GGRF Equity and Governance Best Practices Alliance is to ensure that environmental justice and community-based organizations, representing and made up of frontline communities, are able to have decision-making power in how and where the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) is deployed so that impacted communities are directly benefited.
Based on EPA's guidance, this Guide maps the principles in the Pledge to recommendations for key sections within the applications for the National Clean Investment Fund (NCIF) and the Clean Communities Investment Accelerator (CCIA) competitions.
The Best Practices Alliance calls on all GGRF applicants to publicly commit to robust governance structures and processes that center equity and environmental justice and provide meaningful accountability to local communities and the public, and specifically, the practices described in the Pledge.
