CDP requests states and regions to disclose their environmental impacts and create a sustainable economy that avoids dangerous climate change. Encouraging states and regions to disclose their environmental information through CDP’s states and regions information request provides the foundation to achieve this mission.
Please respond to the information request using CDP’s Online Response System (ORS), accessed via CDP’s website. You will receive instructions via email on how to access the platform once it opens. This document shows all the questions that states and regions will encounter in the information request.
We invite you to reply to the following questions. The deadline for responses is the 25th July 2018.
The following sources of support are available to guide you in responding to the information request:
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 disclosed data is used by CDP to power the following tools and resources:
Sub-National Climate Analytics Navigator
The Sub-National Climate Analytics Navigator (SCAN) is a data analytics tool developed exclusively for disclosing state and regional governments to provide them with access to all publicly reported climate data from over 100 states and regions that disclosed in 2017. SCAN enables governments to understand best practice and gain insight into the climate actions of their peers.
Open Data Portal
The Open Data Portal (ODP) is an online data resource which allows the public view all data publicly reported to CDP from companies, cities, states and regions. The ODP contains data disclosed by states and regions from years 2015, 2016 and 2017.
The data collected from this information request is used for analysis and research by CDP and its partners, and supports the following initiatives:
Under2 Coalition
Under2 is a leading coalition of ambitious sub-national governments committed to supporting delivery of the Paris Agreement and keeping global temperature rise to below 2 degrees Celsius. Led by states and regions internationally, the Coalition brings together signatories and endorsers of the Under2 MOU, a commitment to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80-95% on 1990 levels, or to two metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent per capita annually, by 2050.
CDP works in partnership with The Climate Group to provide the world’s first global platform for states and regions to measure, manage and disclose their greenhouse gas emissions. We are united in our firm belief of the vital role that state and regional governments play in driving climate action and delivering sustainable economies that avoid dangerous climate change and leads to a net-zero emissions world. State and regional government climate action is fundamental to delivering the Paris Agreement and the disclosed data drives CDP’s analytical benchmarking, commitment tracking and data management; and The Climate Group’s governments networks, peer learning, policy work and promotion of climate leadership.
The Climate Group is Secretariat to the Under2 Coalition and works with signatories to accelerate the pace of climate action. CDP serves as the official disclosure platform. The Under2 Coalition includes 205 jurisdictions, representing 1.3 billion people and almost 40% of the global economy.
RegionsAdapt
The RegionsAdapt initiative aims to inspire and support state, provincial and regional governments to take action, cooperate and report efforts on climate change adaptation. The initiative requires governments to report on the progress of their adaptation actions and goals on an annual basis. NRG4SD is the network that supports this initiative as its Secretariat and by involving members from the five continents.

CDP has been making information requests on behalf of institutional investors to corporations on carbon and climate change since 2002, water since 2010, and forests since 2013. In addition, CDP has been making information requests to cities since 2010 as well as to states and regions since 2014. To find out more about CDP and the previous responses from these organizations, please refer to our website at www.cdp.net.
What are the financial implications of responding?
CDP has a charitable status and seeks to use its limited funds effectively. Consequently, responses must be prepared and submitted at the expense of responding states and regions. 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 states and regions 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.
What if a state/region 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. If your state/region wants their information to be included for the 2018 Global Climate Action Summit in California, please submit and make all necessary amendments by 25th July 2018.
How can a state/region confirm its participation?
If you received this document in hard copy, please email [email protected] to confirm your participation.
