Questionnaire Pathway Map
- The 2023 CDP-ICLEI Track Questionnaire is divided into three distinct pathways. An increase in the pathways is accompanied by an increase in the number of questions.
- The Questionnaire Pathway Map outlines the questions, and where relevant the columns/rows, which are presented within each pathway.
- If your jurisdiction participates in certain projects or initiatives there may be modifications to the questions and/or columns/rows presented to ensure your questionnaire aligns with the reporting requirements of the applicable project or initiative. Please see the 'Column/Row Modifications' in the tables below to view potential additional columns/rows and the table 'Projects and Initiatives - Additional Questions' to view potential additional questions.
