EPA gives SF maximum million-dollar climate-change grant | Climate | sfexaminer.com

San Francisco environmental officials say a recent $1 million federal grant is an unprecedented award of federal money earmarked to ensure The City’s most vulnerable residents are protected from the effects of climate change.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency last week awarded the grant to the San Francisco Environment Department as part of its effort to support local municipalities in assisting neighborhoods that have been disproportionately affected by climate change. The $1 million allotment is the largest award the agency can dole out as part of the program.
