Phoenix Awarded Global ‘A’ Rating for Bold Environmental Efforts
The city of Phoenix is now one of 122 cities and counties globally to make the 2022 CDP A list for its environmental efforts led by Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego and the Office of Environmental Programs.

“Combatting climate change is a top priority for me, and is essential to the future of Phoenix and those who plan to live here,” says Gallego. “Knowing that our city is among the 12% of cities and counties to make the CDP A list confirms what we already know – we are on the right track.”

The CDP assessed over 1,000 cities and counties this year, ranking them based on leadership in environmental action. Phoenix received a top score based on its public environmental, social, and governance dashboard featuring sustainability metrics as well as its reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). In addition to these efforts, Phoenix was recognized for assessing its climate risk and vulnerabilities along with creating a climate action plan to tackle environmental hazards.
