CEQ (Council on Environmental Quality)

The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) is a U.S. federal agency that helps ensure government projects and policies consider their environmental impact. It coordinates efforts to protect natural resources, improve environmental quality, and promote sustainable development. CEQ oversees the implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which requires federal agencies to assess potential environmental effects before starting major projects. Its role is to help balance economic growth with environmental protection, ensuring decisions are made transparently and responsibly for the benefit of current and future generations.
