Global Covenant of Mayors announces collective impact of committed cities and new data reporting standard
November 12, 2017
1,019 local and regional governments from 86 countries, representing 804 million people, have reported emissions reductions targets to the carbonn Climate Registry (cCR), one of the most widely used subnational climate action reporting systems in the world.
Once achieved, these targets would result in a reduction of 5.6 gigatons of CO2 equivalent (GtCO2e) by 2020 and 26.8 GtCO2e by 2050.
The just-released cCR report, Boosting subnational climate action through new climate governance, provides a snapshot of self-reported climate data from cities, towns and regions around the world. It makes the case for how climate reporting systems that coordinate national level climate plans and commitments can help nations more accurately track performance, monitor risk and formulate effective action to ultimately raising climate ambitions across the country.
