The 2025 Annual Awards Celebration

Thank you for making our 2025 Awards Celebration a great event!

Thanks to everyone who made our 2025 Awards Celebration a meaningful experience. It was a genuine pleasure to catch up with our friends, partners, funders, supporters, and, of course, all the Sustainable CT certified municipalities and Climate Leaders.

Congratulations once again to our 2025 certified towns: GOLD - East Haddam, Hamden, Manchester, Mansfield, Norwalk, and Vernon; SILVER - Bridgeport, Coventry, Darien, Haddam, Madison, Marlborough, Ridgefield, Rocky Hill, Southbury, Stamford, and Windham; and BRONZE - Andover, Beacon Falls, Cheshire, Essex, Guilford, Roxbury, Torrington, Waterford, West Haven, Windsor, and Woodbridge. Congratulations as well to this year's Climate Leaders: East Haddam, Hamden, Manchester, Mansfield, Middletown, Norwalk, Pomfret, and Vernon. You've all gone above-and-beyond to make Connecticut a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable place to call home.

We were especially thrilled to reveal the "big surprise" and present Climate Leaders with cash prizes in support of their continuing work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Our special thanks and appreciation go out to our municipal host, the Town of East Haddam (a Gold-certified community), and to the fabulous venue, the Goodspeed Opera House, a cultural treasure.

Thanks as well to our generous event sponsors: Eversource, Reworld, Clean Transportation Communities of Southern Connecticut, Envest Asset Management, Casella Waste Systems, Power Options, Titan Energy, Energia, and Capital for Change.

And thank you all for making the kick-off of our 2025 Campaign for a Sustainable CT a success! The Campaign runs through December 31 with special prizes courtesy of REI Norwalk and Mystic Cycle Centre, but thanks to you, we began with great momentum to foster a connected, inclusive and sustainable Connecticut. We are very grateful for your support.

If you would like to receive PDFs (for print or online use) of your town's Success Report, please email your request to Jim Hunt at [email protected] and he'll be glad to help. Also note that these reports will be posted on your municipality's profile on our website in the very near future.

Because of all of you, the 2025 Sustainable CT Awards Celebration was a thoroughly enjoyable event. With your continued support and participation, we look forward to making Connecticut even better in 2026!
