Net Zero Emissions Target

Editor,

On Monday night the City Council voted unanimously to adopt a new greenhouse gas emissions reduction target for the city, of Net Zero emissions by 2050. This matches the goals set by our neighbors in Fairfax and Arlington, as well as the 2050 target of the Paris Climate Accords. Personally, I’m proud of the leadership from our city council and staff, especially Interim Deputy City Manager & Environmental Sustainability Coordinator Andy Young. I’m glad I live in a city that values being a leader in climate action. Now comes the real work of actually meeting our goals.

-Joseph Schiarizzi
