The Virginia Conservation Network (VCN) has now released Our Common Agenda – the 2020 Environmental Briefing Book.
Our Common Agenda is written by VCN’s partners – Virginia’s top conservation advocates. Published annually, it showcases the environmental community’s collective state-level policy priorities in the coming year. This book displays the breadth of conservation issues facing Virginians, along with proposed policy solutions to these environmental challenges.
This year’s book covers a range of important topics including:
- Restoring our rivers and streams to meet VA’s Chesapeake Bay cleanup goals;
- A pathway to power Virginia with clean energy;
- Transforming our transportation through investments in transit and walkable/bikeable communities;
- Conserving Virginia’s landscape and our outdoor economy from farmlands to hiking trails;
- And many more…
VCN is Virginia’s network of over 100 local, state, and regional organizations working to protect our Commonwealth’s natural resources.
If you would like more information on any of these topics, VCN has included a list of issue area experts and their contact information at the beginning of each chapter. You can also reach out to the VCN team for any additional information.
