CDP States and Regions 2023 Questionnaire


Introduction

Introduction to 2023 States and Regions Questionnaire

  • 2023 States and Regions Questionnaire: We invite you to respond to the following questions of the 2023 States and Regions Questionnaire. Responding jurisdictions will only have to report once per year, on one platform, to the following questions.
  • Online Response System: Please report using CDP’s Online Response System (ORS), accessed via CDP’s website or the activation link you will receive. This User Guide shows all the possible question types that responding jurisdictions may encounter in the ORS. Please note, you must submit your response in the ORS, the system cannot accept responses provided in other formats (i.e., PDF or Word documents).
  • Personal Data: It is important that you do not include the name of any individual or any other personal data in your response. For questions that ask for the positions of staff, out of respect for personal data privacy we are asking only for the position and not for the individual’s name or any other information relating to them.
  • Additional Information: At the end of the questionnaire, there is an opportunity to provide additional information or context that you feel is relevant to your response. This field is optional.
  • Data Quality: To enhance data quality and support analysis please note:
    • Any quantifiable data must be reported in the units stated in the column/question.
    • Numbers in your response must be reported in a way that matches the cultural setting selected on your My Account page. When inputted in the ORS, numbers will be displayed in a format specific to the cultural setting selected. The cultural setting determines which decimal separator or group separator is used, i.e. a decimal point or comma. For further information please see the User Guide.

Support and Resources

  • 2023 States and Regions Questionnaire Map: The 2023 States and Regions Questionnaire Changes and Framework Map provides an outline of key changes to the questions that comprise the questionnaire and further detail on the auto-population of previously reported data. Ensuring the reporting effort is not increased has been a priority consideration for the development of the 2023 States and Regions Questionnaire, with any changes made to ease reporting, improve data quality, and reflect best practice on climate action.
  • 2023 States and Regions Reporting Guidance: The 2023 States and Regions Reporting Guidance describes what information to provide, the required format, and where to find tools or further information to construct your answer. Additional reporting guidance is available within the Online Reporting System by clicking on the help icon accompanying each question and through the expandable link below each question.
  • Framework and Initiative Alignment: The 2023 States and Regions Questionnaire Changes and Framework Map provides an overview of the frameworks the questionnaire is aligned with and maps each question to the applicable framework. The 2023 States and Regions Questionnaire is aligned with the reporting requirements of RegionsAdapt and the Under2 Coalition and several frameworks and initiatives including the UNFCCC's campaigns Race to Resilience and Race to Zero, the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the Sustainable Development Goals.
  • TCFD Guidance Note: The Guidance Note on the TCFD Recommendations for City, State, and Regional Governments provides an overview of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the benefits of reporting against the TCFD recommendations, and maps the recommendations against the questionnaire.
  • Accompanying Symbols: For certain rows and/or columns the * symbol will be presented, this is to indicate that the presentation of the applicable column and/or row is dependent on an earlier selection within the question. The typical function of this is to present columns and/or rows of relevance where the responder has indicated that the data for the applicable field is available to report.
  • Open Data Portal: The Open Data Portal (ODP) is an online data resource that allows the public to view all data publicly reported to CDP from cities, states and regions. The ODP contains data disclosed by states and regions from the years 2015-2022. Visualizations of data reported in previous years can be found here.

  • Feedback: You can provide feedback on the content of our questionnaires and supporting documents through our online Feedback Form. The Questionnaire Feedback Form is available year-round and in multiple languages which can be changed using the language selection tool.
