Indianapolis in one of six "front-runner cities" from around the world being profiled for their plans on mitigating and adapting to climate change.

The World Health Organization worked with the city's Office of Sustainability and the county health department to put together a document detailing the hazards and risks Indy residents face, as well as what actions the city has taken to adapt to the changing climate.

The report also lists specific additional actions the city can take to further its resiliency to the effects of climate change.

In addition to Indianapolis, the project also created profiles for Accra, Ghana; Glasgow, Scotland; Kisumu, Kenya; Quito, Ecuador; and Washington, D.C.
