Fairfax County is preparing a plan to address greenhouse gas emissions which will include a greenhouse gas inventory and targets for greenhouse gas reductions, called CECAP, the Community-wide Energy and Climate Action Plan.
The county’s website says, “The CECAP will also include actions and strategies to help mitigate climate change and to reduce the impact of climate-related events on county residents and businesses. At the conclusion of the development process, a final plan will be presented to the Board of Supervisors for adoption.”
At this stage, they are considering five emission reduction scenarios. This is an opportunity for Auduboners to convince county officials to take concrete steps to address climate change. You can read about the process, the schedule and monthly updates here.
