Program Overview
On November 5, 2024, California voters passed the Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024 (Proposition 4), commonly known as the “Climate Bond.” The Climate Bond authorizes $10 billion in general obligation bond sales to finance projects to address climate change, protect communities and nature from its impacts, and improve the lives of Californians.
Section 92530 of the Climate Bond directs funding to the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) for competitive urban greening grants for projects that mitigate the urban heat island effect, rising temperatures, and extreme heat impacts.
The Budget Act of 2025 appropriated $46,125,000 of Proposition 4 funding for competitive grants for urban greening. More information will be posted to this webpage as it becomes available.

CNRA will file the Proposed Emergency Rulemaking Action with the Office of Administrative Law on January 20, 2026.
