Faith Alliance for Climate Solutions (FACS) knows that climate change effects are felt locally and that decisions made at the local level impact climate policies. Our annual Sustainability Champions Awards highlight individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions towards FACS' mission of creating moral and equitable solutions to climate change in Northern Virginia. Nominations are received from the local community, and winners are chosen by a committee composed of FACS leadership and prior award winners.
