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.

Help and resources

  • 2019 Online Reporting Guidance: This document provides a high-level overview of each questionnaire section as well as guidance on every question. It provides information on the intent of each question as well as examples of good responses for selected questions
  • In-ORS Guidance: Within the ORS, there will be three levels of help and guidance
      1. Brief help text is provided below every question. This text will give you guidance on the intent of the question.
      2. Clicking on the help icon above each question will show a pop-up window with information on how to respond to the question.
      3. More detailed guidance can be found by clicking the expandable link below the question. This link will display the full reporting guidance including detailed information on how to respond, examples, links to documentation and scoring associated with the question.
  • Contact us: All cities can write to [email protected] for questions which are not answered in the guidance, for help accessing the ORS, or for general inquiries.

  • ICLEI cities can contact their regional director or [email protected] for help in compiling their response.

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].

    4. City-wide Emissions

    The questions in this section refer to your city’s city-wide (sometimes referred to as “geographic” or “community”) emissions inventory. This inventory encompasses emissions which are within a particular city boundary, over which local governments can exercise a degree of influence through the policies and regulations they implement.


    City-wide GHG Emissions Data


    4.0 Does your city have a city-wide emissions inventory to report?


    By selecting Yes below, you are indicating that you have fuel and/or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data from the entire city area over which the city government can exercise a degree of influence through the policies and regulations they implement (sometimes referred to as ‘geographic’ or ‘community’ emissions) to report at this time.

    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. CDP also reserves the right, where it deems it appropriate in view of its charitable aims and objectives, to charge for access to or use of data and/or reports it publishes or commissions.

    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.
