Albemarle joined the organization shortly after adopting the Cool Counties initiative in December 2007 to committ to a goal of reducing carbon emissions by 80 percent by 2050, or an average annual reductions of 2 percent.

There has been an opposition to this movement within the county level. In March 2011, Jefferson Area Tea Party held a forum to review local sustainability intiatives arguing that such plans should be implemented on a regional level. Supervisor Ken Boyd has called for the coutny to drop its membership in the international organization.
