For the second year in a row, Bloomington has received an 'A' score from CDP for its disclosure efforts.

Bloomington's consistent recognition is a testament to the city's ongoing dedication to leadership, innovation and transparency in its climate and resilience planning and policies.

Earning a spot on CDP's A-List is no easy feat and reflects the highest standard of local climate leadership. To achieve this status, cities must publicly disclose their environmental practices through CDP-ICLEI Track - a climate reporting platform - and meet rigorous criteria. This includes conducting a city-wide emissions inventory, assessing climate risks and vulnerabilities, and publishing a comprehensive climate action plan.

Residents can learn more about Bloomington's sustainability efforts by exploring the City's Climate Action Dashboard. This online tool provides information on the city's emissions inventory, local climate risks and how they are being addressed through the Climate Action Plan. It also offers ways for individuals to contribute towards Bloomington's sustainability goals.

Bloomington's recognition as an A-List city by CDP highlights the importance of local leadership in driving climate innovation, investing in sustainable infrastructure, and creating economic opportunities. The city continues to set an example for others to follow in the pursuit of a greener and more resilient future.
