We are excited to announce that the 2024 CDP-ICLEI Track reporting platform is now open! UBC member cities are warmly invited to share their climate and environmental data as part of this year’s disclosure cycle. The platform is now open! Cities that disclose their data by September 18 will have it assessed and scored by CDP. Albeit no score will be issued for the data disclosed after this date, the questionnaire will still be open until the beginning of December. For those who have reported last year, your data from the 2023 questionnaire will be pre-filled in this year’s form, allowing you to update and amend as necessary.
This year, UBC SCC has pre-selected questions from the CDP Cities questionnaire that are most relevant to our interests. This will streamline the reporting process and ensure the most consistent data collection and assessment.
Benefits of Reporting through CDP-ICLEI Track:
- Streamlined Reporting: Report once to meet multiple climate initiative commitments such as ICLEI, C40, WWF One Planet City Challenge, and the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy. Measure your progress in UN-backed campaigns such as Race to Zero and Race to Resilience.
- Comprehensive Support: Receive support to guide and improve your climate actions.
- Science Based Targets: Access the support to set and achieve science-based climate targets.
- Potential Financial Benefits: Enhance your city’s attractiveness to investors by demonstrating a commitment to transparency and climate action.
- Benchmarking and Progress Tracking: Identify data gaps and benchmark your city’s progress against peers.
- Showcase Achievements: Your disclosed data will be featured in the annual UBC-CDP report and you will be able to earn badges to showcase your climate action leadership.
By reporting your climate and environmental actions through CDP-ICLEI Track, your city will join over 1,100 climate-ambitious local governments globally, leading the way in climate action and transparency. This platform not only helps cities to measure and manage their climate impact but also provides valuable insights to stakeholders such as national governments and the private sector.
We encourage all UBC member cities to participate and contribute to a resilient and sustainable future. For more detailed guidance on the reporting process, please visit CDP Guidance for Cities.
