Cities 2021 Questionnaire

CDP-ICLEI Unified Reporting System 2021

A partnership between:

Cities 2021 Questionnaire

We invite a reply to the following questions. In 2019, CDP partnered with ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability to present one unified platform for city climate reporting, streamlining the process of reporting and ensuring 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 note, you must submit your response in the ORS, the Unified Reporting System cannot accept responses provided in other formats (i.e. PDF or Word documents).

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.

Throughout the questionnaire you will be requested to report information relating to 'your city'. The term 'your city' is a broader term that refers equally to local government areas that may be referred to as cities, municipalities, metropolitan areas, counties etc. and in the context of your response is defined by your answer to the question 0.1 on your administrative boundary.

Copy forward function

If you submitted a response to the 2020, 2019 or 2018 questionnaires, your answers have been auto populated into your 2021 questionnaire where applicable, with a copy forward icon showing next to all questions which are eligible for copy forward. If you did not previously submit a response to a question or this is a new question no answers will copy forward. If you click the copy forward icon a message will appear outlining that no previous answers have been found.

Comments are not auto-populated, however, if you press the copy forward icon, the comment from your previous response can be manually copied forward. Attachments are not auto-populated.

Please review auto-populated answers carefully, it is your responsibility to ensure your answers are updated for the accuracy and completeness of your response.

We have tried to ensure copy forward from your previous response is available where possible, however, some questions have been modified from last year’s questionnaire, and therefore not all fields may copy over. As a result, your data might only be available on specific fields within table questions. We encourage you to double check the response to ensure that the response is complete and up to date.

GCoM Common Reporting Framework

The Global Covenant of Mayors (GCoM) developed the 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 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)

WWFs One Planet City Challenge (OPCC) is a friendly competition where local governments are recognized and rewarded for ambitious climate action. WWF assesses how a city’s reported climate efforts align with the Paris Agreement and its goal of 1.5 °C maximum global warming. Participants will receive a strategic feedback report highlighting top performers and providing feedback to each city with suggestions for further developments. Cities wishing to participate in the OPCC will need to submit public responses to CDP-ICLEI Unified Reporting System. The data submitted will be shared with WWF for evaluation purposes. For more information, please contact WWF directly on [email protected].

3. THESE TERMS

These are the terms that apply when you submit a response to our Questionnaire. If you do not agree to these terms, please contact us at [email protected] to discuss them with us.

4. RESPONDING TO THE QUESTIONNAIRE

General. When responding to the Questionnaire, you will be given a choice as to whether your response can be made public or whether your response is non-public, unless you are a GCoM City and/or your city decides to participate in the OPCC, Cities Race to Zero and/or Race to Resilience in which case you can only respond publicly. We strongly encourage you to make your response public.

When responding to the Questionnaire, you are responsible for checking that the data you submit through any third party (e.g. Google Environmental Insights Explorer, GCoM’s and WRI’s Data Portal for Cities or C40’s City Inventory Reporting and Information System (CIRIS)) is complete and correct.

Deadline for responding. You must submit your response to us using our online response system by the Deadline to ensure it is eligible for CDP scoring and inclusion in reports.

Public responses. If you agree that your response can be made public, we may use it in furtherance of our charitable mission, including by:

(a) making it available as soon as it is received by CDP to our partners (including C40, GCoM, ICLEI and WWF), appointed report writers and any other parties we deem appropriate;

(b) making it publicly available, for example through our Open Data Portal (https://data.cdp.net/) and stored and preserved on our servers indefinitely thereafter;

(c) compiling it in CDP databases and making it available in original, modified or adapted form for use by commercial (for a fee or otherwise) and non-commercial organizations;

(d) amalgamating it with information about the Responding City from other public sources; an

(e) using in any other way that accords with our charitable mission.
