Catalog of actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in cities, as reported by city governments participating in CDP in 2012. Activities are tagged by sector and cities provide detailed descriptions of each activity. Some cities also provide estimates of the total anticipated lifetime emissions that will be reduced from each activity.

This dataset contains the emissions reduction actions publicly disclosed by cities in 2018 and 2019.

The dataset contains 2021 data on the impact of COVID-19 on climate action in cities. The data was reported by cities through the CDP-ICLEI Unified Reporting System in response to question 1.6 ("Please provide information on the overall impact of COVID-19 on climate action in your city.") in the 2021 Cities questionnaire.

Cities are increasingly reporting that they are powered by renewable electricity. CDP holds information from over 570 of the world's cities and over 100 cities are now getting at least 70% of their electricity from renewable sources such as hydro, geothermal, solar and wind.

This dataset has been compiled of data reported by cities in 2015, 2016 and 2017 in response to our annual questionnaire. Cities responded to the question: "Please indicate the energy mix of your electricity consumed at the city-wide scale."
