~ Bloomington, a city known for its commitment to sustainability, has once again been recognized as a leader in environmental transparency. The global nonprofit organization CDP has awarded Bloomington with an 'A' score for its disclosure in 2024, making it one of only 112 cities worldwide to achieve this top status.

CDP is the world's only independent environmental disclosure system for companies, capital markets, cities, states and regions. Their scoring system recognizes global leadership in environmental transparency, climate action and resilience planning. Out of the 112 cities that received an 'A' score, 29 are located in the United States - the highest number from any country.

Shawn Miya, Assistant Director of Sustainability for Bloomington's Economic and Sustainable Development Department, expressed gratitude for the recognition. "We are grateful for all of the City departments, residents, businesses and nonprofits that are working together to make climate action a reality every day in Bloomington," he said. "It is an honor to be recognized by the CDP for our hard work and dedication to increasing our triple wins from climate actions."

Earning a spot on CDP's A-List is no easy feat. Cities must publicly disclose their efforts 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 climate action plan.

Being on CDP's A-List reflects the highest standard of local climate leadership. It demonstrates that Bloomington and other A-List cities are driving climate innovation, investing in infrastructure and creating economic opportunities. By transparently disclosing their efforts through CDP-ICLEI Track, these cities can track progress, engage communities and access funding to accelerate solutions and strengthen long-term resilience.

Katie Walsh, head of climate finance for cities at CDP North America praised Bloomington for their achievement. "Congratulations to Bloomington for earning a spot on CDP's A-List," she said. "Bloomington is leading by example by disclosing transparently how it is prioritizing and integrating climate resiliency and sustainability across their city. From investing in infrastructure to building stronger local economies and creating jobs, American local governments on CDP's 2024 A List are forging ahead on climate action."
