COP30, the 30th UN Climate Change Conference is underway from November 10–21, 2025 in Belém, Brazil, so global attention right now is focused on making cities around the world more eco-friendly.

Dallas is one of the cities in the U.S. leading the way.


According to new data from Compare the Market, Dallas is the 7th most eco-conscious city in the nation, and the second most eco-conscious in Texas.

Austin leads the way with a total index score, based on renewable energy usage, sustainable hotels, recycling rates, and vegan-friendly culture, of 100.

The top nine is as follows:

1 – Austin (100)
2 – San Francisco (89.3)
3 – New York City (83.9)
4 – San Diego (76.3)
5 – Chicago (73.5)
6 – Seattle (65.1)
7 – Dallas (59.5)
8 – Houston (53.7)
9 – Los Angeles (51.2)

According to CW33, Dallas reported a growing amount of sustainable hotels, "reflecting growing eco-conscious accommodations," 3.60 vegan restaurants per 100,000, which means the city is expanding plant-based options, and 1.94 thrift stores per 100,000, showing the city encourages reuse and sustainable living.
