CDP-ICLEI Unified Reporting System 2019

Cities 2019 Questionnaire

We invite a reply to the following questions. In 2019, CDP has partnered with ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability to present one unified platform for city climate reporting, streamlining the process of reporting and ensuing simplicity and standardisation for reporting cities. Cities will only have to report once, on one platform, to the following questions.

ICLEI will continue to support and provide technical assistance to local governments, while CDP and ICLEI will both use the self-reported city data to provide robust analysis of the action being taken by cities across the world.

How to respond

Please respond to the information request using CDP’s Online Response System (ORS), accessed via CDP’s website or the activation link you will receive. This document shows all the possible questions that cities may encounter in the ORS. However, it should not be used instead of the ORS. If you are unable to respond online via the ORS please e-mail [email protected].

Please answer the questions comprehensively while also assessing the relevance of the information you provide. Where you do not have all of the information requested, please respond with what you have as this is more valuable than no response.

The deadline for response is 10th July 2019.

GCoM Common Reporting Framework

The Global Covenant of Mayors (GCoM) has developed a new Common Reporting Framework in consultation with partners and cities and local governments around the world. This framework includes a set of global recommendations to ensure robust climate action planning, implementation and monitoring, and streamline measurement and reporting procedures. Global Covenant of Mayors (GCoM) questions used to report using the new framework are integrated in the Cities questionnaire.

The GCoM reporting framework uses precise language to indicate which provisions are requirements and which are optional. The term “shall” is used throughout the guidance to indicate what is required. The mandatory GCoM Common Reporting Framework requirements are detailed using this terminology throughout this guidance document, under the “GCoM Guidance” sections.

Recommendations that GCoM cities are strongly advised to follow are introduced by the term “should”, and optional provisions are introduced by the term “may”.

For more detailed information on the reporting requirements, please refer to the GCoM Guidance note.

WWF’s One Planet City Challenge (OPCC)

Through this initiative, WWF will assess the gap between your city's current emissions and the safe range (limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees) and also advise on high impact reduction actions. For this analysis, the Global Covenant of Mayors reporting requirements will be used, which are integrated throughout the questionnaire. For more information, please contact WWF directly on [email protected].

Important Information

CDP has been making information requests relating to carbon and climate change on behalf of investors since 2003. To find out more about CDP and the previous responses from other organizations, please refer to our website at www.cdp.net.

What are the financial implications of responding?

CDP has charitable status and seeks to use its limited funds effectively. Consequently, responses must be prepared and submitted at the expense of responding cities.

What is the basis of participation and what will happen to the data received?

When responding to CDP you will be given a choice as to whether your response is made public or non-public. We strongly encourage cities to make their responses public which means that the response will be made publicly available from the CDP website. Non-public responses will not be made publicly available and will only be used in aggregate and/or anonymously. Any responses submitted to the Global Covenant of Mayors (GCoM) will be considered public.

Scoring of responses

CDP provides private scores to cities who respond to the CDP Cities 2019 information request, the scoring methodology can be found here. Responses to CDP Cities 2019 will not be scored publicly by CDP or its partners. CDP is considering publicly scoring responses in the future.

What if a city wishes to change or update a response?

After you submit your response via the Online Response System, it will become ‘read-only’ and any amendments can be made through the dashboard. Please submit and make all necessary amendments by the submission deadline.

How can a city confirm its participation?

If you received this document in hard copy, please email [email protected] to confirm your participation.
