greenhouse gas inventories

Since 2021, Atlanta has decreased its emissions by 22% (from the 2009 baseline). The energy sector is the largest emitter at ~69% and the transportation sector following at ~29%. From the Climate Action Plan progress, the immense focus area gaps are in municipal renewable energy, transportation, water consumption, and waste diversion. As we develop a new plan there will be a hyper focus on building a more equitable, healthy, and livable Atlanta that will incorporate population growth and science based targets.
