Disclosure helps cities see the risks and opportunities of climate change for its citizens and business communities.

Start disclosing


Disclosing environmental data through CDP Cities has a huge number of advantages, from improved engagement to centralising data and tracking progress. CDP provides cities with all publicly available data, evaluates your response, benchmarks your performance against peers and finds areas of opportunity for your city.


Our cities are changing. More than ever, cities around the world are leading the way to building a sustainable economy. But we need to move even faster. Explore our Open Data Portal for more on how cities across the globe are taking environmental action.
