Transparency is the cornerstone of climate leadership. Generating more than 80% of global GDP, cities are central tocreating a sustainable, nature-positive and equitable global economy.
Transparent annual public reporting of climate information is considered global best practice and is undertaken by different stakeholders including cities, states and regions, companies, and financial institutions. It is critical to ensure global accountability on climate change.
What gets measured, gets managed. CDP-ICLEI Track brings together the knowledge and expertise of two global organisations to provide stakeholders - from national governments to the private sector –with evidence and insight on the state of city climate action.
By reporting your climate change mitigation and adaptation risks, plans, actions and impact through CDP-ICLEI Track, you can track your journey on local action and progress in a transparent manner for your communities, businesses and the wider world. Nearly 1,100 cities globally reported to CDP-ICLEI Track in 2022, gaining unparalleled insight on their progress towards climate leadership.
CDP-ICLEI Track streamlines your experience through one questionnaire, allowing simultaneous reporting to key climate initiatives (such as ICLEI, C40, WWF One Planet City Challenge and the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy), and measures your progress against UN-backed climate campaigns (such as Race to Zero and Race to Resilience).
By reporting through CDP-ICLEI Track you unlock access to a range of additional services andtailored capacity building and support, showing stakeholders that your city is committed to climate action and ready to attract finance.
Data reported by cities is used to inform policy and decision-making to build a sustainable planet and economy. By reporting through CDP-ICLEI Track, your impact reaches far beyond your city. Your data is used by entities such as the United Nations, the IPCC, World Health Organisationand the World Bank to inform climate policy and initiatives.
