Sustainability

For more than a decade, the City of Knoxville has worked to make Knoxville a greener, more sustainable city – one where the economy, environment, and community can thrive today and in the future.

Since our first Energy & Sustainability initiatives, the City has saved taxpayer money through efficient operations, improved public services, increased renewable energy capacity, and invested in energy efficiency for homes and businesses.

The City's Office of Sustainability focuses on high-emission sectors, and leads initiatives to drive down energy, emissions, and environmental impacts across City operations and in the community.

Mayor Kincannon and the Office of Sustainability prioritize community engagement and transparency to advance sustainability efforts that reflect the values of Knoxville's residents and businesses.
