Cities A List 2022

122 cities across the globe have been named as leaders in environmental action and transparency in 2022 by CDP. For the first time, this includes 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 recognizes cities that have received the highest score for their transparency and bold climate action, and celebrates 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 features 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.

Canadian cities on the list: Hamilton, St. Catharines, Burlington, Windsor, Thunder Bay, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Fredericton, Halifax, Saanich, Nanaimo.
