The upcoming tournament will be the largest to date, with 48 teams competing for soccer’s biggest prize across three countries: the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Atlanta is among 11 cities in the U.S. chosen to hold matches, with each city expected to host up to six games.

Jeff Bezos Invests $7.9 Million in Urban Green Spaces

Executive Chairman of Amazon Jeff Bezos is also leaving his mark on Atlanta through the Bezos Earth Fund, committing $7.9 million to rejuvenate the city’s urban landscape. With a clear goal to enhance access to parks, trees, and community gardens by 2030, this plan aims to foster a healthier and more sustainable future. Partnering with local nonprofits, the fun has allocated $3.5 million to the Partnership for Southern Equity to promote urban greening.

The Center of the Green Energy Movement

The Bezos Earth Fund, however, is just the beginning of ways Atlanta is looking to create a greener future. The city laid the groundwork in 2019 with Clean Energy Atlanta, a strategic plan aiming to achieve 100 percent clean energy by 2035. The strategy prioritizes energy efficiency, renewable sources, and the reduction of fossil fuel reliance across Atlanta. The city will lead by example, with city buildings becoming a showcase for clean energy through projects like rooftop solar installations and battery storage. Policy shifts are expected to ease barriers, reshaping legal and regulatory aspects. Atlanta's financial creativity comes into play, using tools like energy savings performance contracts, environmental impact bonds, and third-party solar financing to make clean energy enhancements cost-effective. This effort also emphasizes knowledge-sharing within the community, facilitating smoother transitions to greener practices and avoiding common obstacles.
