The environmental nonprofit says it now has enough private funding to continue the research, which involves weatherizing and electrifying affordable apartments.

Green Umbrella kicked off its 25 Communities Project Tuesday. Over the next year, the nonprofit will provide climate-focused trainings, resources, and technical assistance to communities including Hamilton County, Newport, and Colerain Township.

Locals create neighborhood-specific plans for climate resiliency.

This is the second grant the nonprofit organization has lost since President Trump took office.

Green Umbrella's grant was one of 400 terminated by the Environmental Protection Agency and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.

Despite President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign pledge to take back unspent federal climate money from the Inflation Reduction Act, a local environmental leader expects the funds to be largely protected.

Climate action plans prepare governments to mitigate the effects of climate change. Just a couple cities in Southwest Ohio have them. In Milford, individuals and a local organization are trying to create the city's first one.

More than $8 million in grants is headed to Cincinnati to support climate change response and sustainability initiatives.

The million dollar grant is part of the Inflation Reduction Act and there are several recipients, including the city of Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Green Umbrella, and the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments.

The group, which works with communities to address climate change across jurisdictional borders, says the expansion makes it one of the largest regional climate collaboratives in the country.
