DC Green Scene

President Obama signed Executive Order 13514 in October 2009, directing Federal agencies to meet aggressive energy, water, and waste reduction targets, reduce their greenhouse gas pollution, and leverage Federal purchasing power to curb waste, save taxpayer dollars, and support the growth of a 21st century clean energy economy.

During this educational event, participants will share sustainability challenges and best practices, and discuss cutting-edge approaches to achieving the Federal performance goals set by President Obama. Topics covered will include clean energy, energy and water efficiency, fleet management, getting to zero waste, green buildings, and greening the supply chain.

The main program will take place on September 24-25; a suite of new post-Symposium activities, including roundtables, training sessions and other activities will take place on September 26.

This year’s event will be co-sponsored by the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) and the Association of Climate Change Officers (ACCO).
