Climate Programs and Initiatives

Our programs and initiatives turn climate goals into real-world action. From preparing neighborhoods for extreme weather to helping residents save on energy bills, each effort is designed with equity, innovation, and community voice at the center.

Climate Resilience

Prince George’s County is building resilience to climate hazards such as flooding, extreme heat, and severe storms.
We work alongside community partners to prepare residents before emergencies, reduce risks, and strengthen recovery efforts.

Key efforts include:

Climate Resilience Hubs that provide trusted, equipped spaces for residents during disruptions.
Funding and technical assistance for community-based resilience projects.
Updates to planning, zoning, and building codes to protect people, homes, and infrastructure.

Our resilience strategy empowers neighborhoods to adapt to a changing climate while improving the quality of life year-round. Explore each program to learn how you can participate, access resources, and make a difference in your community.

Lowering energy use saves money, cuts emissions, and boosts comfort. We provide tools, incentives, and guidance to help residents, businesses, and property owners make smart upgrades.

Programs include:

Energy Efficiency Grants for insulation, HVAC, appliances, and other energy-saving measures.
ENERGY STAR® and green leasing support for multifamily and commercial properties.
Guidance and resources for optimizing building performance.

Our goal is to reduce energy waste across the County while increasing access to modern, efficient technology.

Workshops, webinars, and community working groups.
