“Over 70 percent of total global emissions are generated from cities, and if you don’t measure these emissions you cannot manage them,” said Paul Dickinson, chief executive of the nonprofit CDP. “This is a vital step for city councils who wish to gain a better understanding of their own impact and prepare their cities for a carbon constrained world.”
The cities will use ICLEI’s tools and resources to assess and report their emission profiles to the CDP by October 31. The results will be published by CDP and ICLEI in January 2009, and the program will open to local governments nationwide early that year.
