Malmö receives CDP recognition for its environmental protection efforts
Malmö received recognition from the CDP, formerly Carbon Disclosure Project, for its environmental efforts. Under Mayor of Malmö Katrin Stjernfeldt Jammeh, the city made it onto the CDP A-list, a group of cities recognised for their work on environmental issues.
Malmö is the only Swedish city on the list this year, while its neighbours Finland and Norway boast several cities on the list.
City authorities pointed out that, in order to achieve this, Malmö had to release emissions data, present plans to curb greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change, and report on implementation of environmental projects.
This year, more than 100 cities made it onto the list, with more than 1,000 cities reporting their environmental data, planned and implemented environmental projects and progress achieved thus far.
Malmö authorities pointed out that the CDP launched the list with the aim of encouraging cities and companies to join the green push and draw up environmental plans.
The CDP pointed out that it named 122 cities as global leaders in climate action and transparency this year. The organisation commended the cities in question for their commitment and vision.
It noted that 42% of the 1,002 cities evaluated this year are new to the list, with roughly 12% making it onto the A-list. The organisation concluded that a growing number of cities is joining the green push.
