City of Bloomington Celebrates 5 Years of Climate Action Plan Implementation Progress and Releases 2024 Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report
The City of Bloomington is celebrating five years of progress implementing the Climate Action Plan, adopted by the Bloomington Common Council in 2021. To mark the milestone, the City released its 2024 Community-Wide and Municipal Operations Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report, which shows Bloomington remains on track to meet its goal of reducing community-wide greenhouse gas emissions 25 percent below 2018 levels by 2030.
Guided by the Climate Action Plan, Bloomington has invested in energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable transportation, green infrastructure, and climate resilience to reduce emissions while preparing the community for the impacts of climate change.
“Five years ago, Bloomington committed to taking meaningful action to address climate change,” said Mayor Kerry Thomson. “Today, we’re seeing the results of that commitment through projects that lower energy costs, strengthen our infrastructure, improve public health, and make our community more resilient. While there is still important work ahead, we’re proud of the progress we’ve made together.”
