White House Council on Environmental Quality

The White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) is a federal agency that advises the President on environmental policies and ensures that federal actions consider their impact on the environment. Established in 1969, the CEQ helps coordinate the government's approach to environmental issues, such as climate change, conservation, and sustainability. It oversees the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) processes, guiding agencies in assessing the environmental effects of their proposed projects. By promoting collaboration across various departments, the CEQ aims to integrate environmental values into national policies and decision-making.
