It was an impressive year, with 308 cities reporting on their climate change data (six times more than the number that was reported in the survey’s first year of 2011), making this the largest and most comprehensive survey of cities and climate change published to date by CDP. City governments from Helsinki to Canberra to La Paz participated, including over 90% of the membership of the C40 – a group of the world’s largest cities dedicated to climate change leadership. Approximately half of reporting cities measure city-wide emissions. Together, these cities account for 1.67 billion tonnes CO2e, putting them on par with Japan and UK emissions combined. 60% of all reporting cities now have completed a climate change risk assessment. And cities reported over 3,000 individual actions designed to reduce emissions and adapt to a changing climate. CDP, C40 and AECOM salute the hard work and dedication of the world’s city governments in measuring and reporting these important pieces of data. With this report, we provide city governments the information and insights that we hope will assist their work in tackling climate change.
