Fairfax County’s Environmental Quality Advisory Council (EQAC) announces two events to help shape the future of the county’s environmental policies and initiatives. 

The 2025 Annual Report on the Environment is now available, offering EQAC’s analysis of Fairfax County’s environmental status and progress. The report examines air and water quality, transportation, waste management, climate change, and ecological conservation, providing actionable recommendations to address challenges and drive sustainable solutions. For a streamlined overview, residents can access the Executive Summary, which highlights the priority recommendations from the report.

The report is a helpful resource for residents, policymakers, and stakeholders interested in understanding the county’s environmental landscape and contributing to the development of effective strategies for future improvement.
