  • Impact for a Sustainable Future Annual Report 2016 Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge Introduction | 03
    IMPACT FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ANNUAL REPORT 2016 ATLANTA BETTER BUILDINGS CHALLENGE INTRODUCTION | 03 One of my proudest accomplishments as Mayor of Atlanta is the tremendous success achieved through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge (ABBC). The Office of Resilience has partnered with businesses and nonprofit organizations to implement a comprehensive, voluntary program to increase energy and water efficiency in our building stock. The Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge invites participating building owners to commit to a 20 percent reduction in energy and water use by year 2020. With more than 114 million square feet of building space and more than 600 buildings pledged, Atlanta has earned its spot as a leader on the efficiency scoreboard. Since 2011, this successful public-private partnership between the City of Atlanta, Central Atlanta Progress, Livable Buckhead, Midtown Alliance and Southface has positioned Atlanta as a national leader in energy and water efficiency. We surpassed our water reduction goal five years ahead of schedule, and we’re quickly closing the gap on our energy goal, having already reduced our portfolio’s energy consumption by 17 percent. Through the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge, participants are saving money on bills now, while helping to ensure a more resilient future for all Atlantans. This program plays a pivotal role in furthering Atlanta as a top-tier city for sustainability. We hope to inspire other cities by our achievements and lead by example as we continue to make big strides in reducing our energy and water usage. Thanks to our participants in the Challenge. Sincerely, IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR BUILDINGS 20 PERCENT BY 2020 Mayor Kasim Reed The goal of the Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Resource conservation efforts not only support the City’s Challenge is to improve the efficiency of commercial, sustainability efforts and lead to a cleaner and healthier institutional, industrial, and multifamily buildings by 20% or place to live and work, but the dollar savings achieved more by 2020.

    Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms Inaugural Address January 2, 2018 Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel at Morehouse College Atlanta, GA Remarks as prepared Good afternoon. Happy New Year. Standing here today as the 60th Mayor of Atlanta is one of the happiest moments of my life. I want to thank all of Atlanta – and each and every one of you here today – for your support, your encouragement and your faith in me. I am truly blessed to be among so many friends and loved ones this afternoon in the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel on the campus of Morehouse College. I want to thank my husband, Derek, and my children – Lance, Langston, Lincoln and Lennox – for their love, and for the courage and patience they showed throughout our campaign. I want to thank my mother, Sylvia, and my father, Major Lance, for raising a girl who was taught to believe in the possibility of the extraordinary. I know my dad is leading the great crowd of witnesses from heaven who are smiling down on us today, including his mother, Lucinda Lance and my maternal grandparents, Clifford and Ramona Robinson, who came to Atlanta in a horse and buggy from East Georgia. They were the grandchildren of former slaves and came to Atlanta as children, with their parents who were seeking opportunity in this shining City on a hill. I stand here this afternoon carrying the hope of the slave. I am grateful to my sister Tracey; my brother Darrian; all of my family and friends; our many volunteers; the faith-based community; and my team for always being at my side with an extraordinary amount of energy, inspiration, and belief in the impossible.
