Cities
Our cities are changing. As home to more than half the world’s population, they are where the fight against climate change will be won or lost. More than ever, local governments and their cities – of all shapes and sizes - around the world are leading the way to a net-zero and resilient future. We need to move even faster.
CDP-ICLEI Track is the world’s leading city climate reporting platform
CDP-ICLEI Track is the world’s leading climate reporting platform and progress accountability mechanism for cities. Tracking over 1,100 cities’ climate action in 2021. These cities are reporting over 8,000 urban sustainability actions (such as energy efficiency and increased green spaces). CDP-ICLEI Track also measures their progress on the UN-backed climate campaigns, Race to Zero and Race to Resilience, which bring cities, businesses and investors together to create a zero-carbon and resilient future. Through CDP-ICLEI Track, cities are also able to report to several initiatives such as numerous ICLEI initiatives, C40, WWF and Global Covenant of Mayors at the same time.
