Message from Mayor Jennings
On Earth Day 2005, I signed the U.S. Mayors’ Climate Protection Agreement, joining cities all across America in a pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to protect the climate. My Executive Order establishing Albany’s Sustainability Agenda created the foundation for our sustainability efforts. The Mayor’s Office of Energy & Sustainability is driving this agenda forward. The Office of Energy & Sustainability works with other municipal departments and the community at large to design and implement programs that will reduce energy use and associated costs. The Office focuses on programs that create jobs and stimulate the economy, making Albany a hub for innovation and livability. The scientific consensus around climate change is clear, and in the absence of federal action, it is up to local governments to respond strongly and help our communities adapt to the changing world we live in.
Mayor Gerald D. Jennings |
