24-25 Climate Funding Convening
The Richmond Federal Climate Funding process was a natural extension of the planning process for RVAgreen 2050. The plan advances equity, notes lessons learned for future planning processes, and represents a step in the right direction for the important work of building trust between government and community. The continued relationships and shared goals, actions, and vision of RVAgreen 2050 are the backbone of the Richmond Federal Climate Funding process.
