Our Common Agenda Education Series is an annual, weekly webinar series that spans over an entire month. Each webinar will focus on key or emerging issues from each chapter in Our 2025 Common Agenda Briefing Book. The chapter themes are: (1) Clean Water & Flood Resilience, (2) Land Use & Transportation, (3) Climate & Energy, & (4) Land & Wildlife Conservation.


Join us every Wednesday in October from 12-1:30 PM as environmental experts discuss how these issues are important to Virginia's environmental landscape, the current policies and programs shaping the issue, and the opportunities to address the issue at the state level.

These virtual webinars are open to the public and recommended for staff of environmental organizations, legislative and administrative policy staff, and members of the general public.
