Nearly every city in the C40 network of global cities taking action on climate change has this year disclosed to CDP, the official exclusive reporting partner of the C40. Kerem Yilmaz, C40 Head of Research says: “The need to understand and act upon climate risk is a growing priority. That’s why these cities are taking steps right now to help create more climate resilient communities, economies and infrastructure. Their commitment to measuring and reporting on this critical issue is accelerating action by enabling cities to identify common challenges and work together to spur and implement solutions.”

In all, 207 cities took part in CDP’s cities program this year, representing a near 100% increase on the 110 cities in 2013. Most cities have made their completed climate change questionnaires available to the public. Individual responses from the cities are now available on the CDP website. Released alongside the new report is an infographic, which displays data from all 207 reporting cities, including their greenhouse gas emissions, risks, adaptation actions, and emissions reduction activities. See the full infographic on the cities pages of CDP’s website.
