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.

How CDP-ICLEI Track helps Why cities?
Measurement & tracking Through reporting What are the benefits
CDP-ICLEI Track provides a platform for measuring and tracking risks, hazards, emissions, sector data (such as transport, water and waste), finance and benefits/opportunities (such as improved urban health, biodiversity and social equity).
"CDP-ICLEI Track has given us a systematic in-depth look at the status of our climate policy. It has enabled us to gather updated information within our city government." - City of Oslo, Norway
CDP analyzes submitted data so cities can show how their actions are safeguarding citizens and benefiting the economy.
Reporting helps a city demonstrate how it is acting on climate change and provides data to improve these actions year-on-year.
By sharing a platform used by thousands of businesses, cities can increase collaboration with the private sector, realize their full potential for climate-resilient futures and ensure long-term prosperity.
Cities that are acting and reporting actions on climate change are better placed to attract investment.
"In San Jose we really like to use data to make decisions, we like to understand what is happening and then make choices. We value the opportunity to collect our own data." - San Jose, USA
CDP-ICLEI Track enables your city to report just once for all your climate initiative commitments, receive comprehensive support to guide and improve climate targets and actions and understand data gaps and benchmark progress over time. It enables your city to focus only on the most important data points for city climate action.
