We invite a reply to the following questions.

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

The following sources of support are also available to guide you in responding to the information request:

• 2018 Guidance Document: This document provides a high-level overview of each section and question-level guidance on every question. The guidance 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 in order to explain the purpose of each question:

• Brief help text is provided below every question.This text will give you guidance on the intent of the question.
• Clicking on the help icon above each question will show a pop-up window with information on how to respond.

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 2018 information request, the scoring methodology can be found here. Responses to CDP Cities 2018 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.
