Fairfax County adopted a Climate Adaptation and Resilience Plan (CARP) and an Operational Energy Strategy targeting carbon neutrality for county operations by 2040 and community-wide by 2050.
The Board of Supervisors adopted the Community-wide Energy and Climate Action Plan (CECAP) in 2021, followed by the Climate Adaptation and Resilience Plan addressing flooding, heat, and stormwater risks. The county tracks progress through annual sustainability reports, retrofits county facilities with solar, expands EV fleet purchasing, and runs the Charge Up Fairfax program funding multifamily EV chargers. Residents and businesses are encouraged but not required to participate. Climate goals align with Virginia Clean Economy Act 2050 grid targets.
No direct fines on residents; failure to comply with related stormwater, tree, or building energy codes carries separate penalties under those chapters.
