One hundred and twenty two cities across the globe were named as leaders in environmental action and transparency in 2022 by CDP. For the first time, this included cities from several countries in the Global South – often among those most affected by the impact of climate change.
The fifth annual Cities A List recognized cities that received the highest score for their transparency and bold climate action, and celebrated their achievements, vision and commitment in the fight against climate change.
In a sign that serious and meaningful climate action is being taken right across the globe, the 2022 A List featured cities in countries such as Peru, Ecuador, Cameroon, Turkey, Jordan, and India – the world’s third largest emitter of greenhouse gases – for the first time.
