Tax Credits & Incentives

Climate action tax credits and incentives are financial tools, like rebates, tax deductions, and grants. These programs are designed to help you take meaningful steps toward a more sustainable and resilient future.

Whether you're weatherizing your home, buying an electric vehicle, installing green infrastructure, or reducing waste, there are programs that make it easier and more affordable to act.

Why It Matters

From rising energy costs to extreme weather, climate change is already impacting our communities. These incentives empower individuals, families, businesses, and nonprofits to:

  • Lower utility bills and fuel costs

  • Reduce carbon emissions

  • Improve indoor air quality and comfort

  • Strengthen climate resilience

  • Create green jobs and local investment

And with new federal funding through the Inflation Reduction Act and other programs, there’s never been more support for local action.

Resources & Tools

Federal policies are eliminating key energy tax credits sooner than expected, reducing financial support for clean energy upgrades. Act now to take advantage of existing incentives before they expire, and explore additional state and local programs to maximize your savings.
