The city of Athens is leading a project to reduce carbon emissions by 50% by 2030. In February 2020, the Athens City Council passed a resolution that declared a climate emergency and expressed the city鈥檚 intention of limiting carbon emissions and becoming more energy conscious.
Since passing the initiative, Athens has made many steps to increase solar energy usage.

Athens City Mayor Steve Patterson said the city uses solar power at the Athens Armory, and both solar and geothermal energy at the Athens Fire Department Station on East Stimson Avenue.
