CDP Cities has now launched, providing a system for cities worldwide to report on their greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related strategies. In partnership with the C40 and the Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI), CDP has asked the largest cities in the world committed to tackling climate change – the 40 member cities and 19 affiliate member cities of the C40 – to voluntarily measure and report to CDP so they can proactively manage risks, reduce carbon and further adopt strategies that safeguard the future of cities.

London, Toronto and New York have already agreed to report their carbon emissions data to CDP Cities, a program sponsored by Autodesk. Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York City, said: "The C40’s partnership with CDP will ensure that all member cities have a reliable platform to report emissions. We will never meet the ambitious goals we set as an organization without solid data to measure our progress; as I've always said: if you can't measure it, you can't manage it."

A new report written by Accenture and entitled ‘The Case for City Disclosure’ is available to read. It details how standard disclosure from local governments can help cities share best practice, manage risk, increase operational effectiveness and cost savings, attract investment, foster innovation and ultimately lead to safer, more prosperous cities.
