In 2024, Fairfax County made significant progress toward achieving its environmental vision and the goals of the countywide strategic plan and climate action plans.

By making its buildings energy efficient, installing solar panels for clean energy and electrifying the vehicle fleet, the county cut its greenhouse gas emissions by almost 28% since fiscal year 2018. Fairfax County Government’s efforts to make its operations greener also resulted in nearly $8 million in savings from avoided utility costs in fiscal year 2024.
