Cities are a key contributor to climate change, as urban activities are major sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Here are some benefits of environmental disclosure for cities through CDP:

Providing a framework

• Benchmark your city's actions against your peers through our Cities Analytics tool.
• Using the platform is free and voluntary. There is no prescribed methodology and cities can disclose publicly or privately.
• Tools and guidance are always available through workshops, webinars and documentation.

Expand your reach

• Data given by cities has been used in the IPCC 5th Assessment Report and in C40 research, as well as by investors, academics and in CDP reports.
• Connect with institutional investors and international public finance institutions through CDP.
• Attend global networking events that are held throughout the year with cities from the same region.

Results

• 40% of cities have a city-wide emissions reduction target.
• Over 600 million people are being protected by cities that are taking the lead on climate action.
• "Disclosing to CDP cities demonstrates that cities are not isolated in their efforts, collectively it represents the best of best for climate action and GHG management." - Denver, USA
