Information sharing with national governments is important to C40 cities


16 cities report to the national government on GHG emissions in some way or another. For city governments operations emissions more than 1 in every 3 cities (38 percent) reports to the national government, compared to 1 in every 4 cities (27 percent) for community emissions.


A small but significant number of C40 cities are incentivizing employees for management of climate change


Over the last 10 years in the private sector a steadily increasing number of corporations have reported using


incentives to reward climate-friendly staff behavior. In 2010, 64 percent of Global 500 companies responding to CDP’s annual request reported that they incentivize their employees for management of climate change issues.1


The CDP Cities’ results show that an emerging number of C40 cities are thinking along similar lines. Some 26 percent (11) of responding cities provide incentives for individual or departmental management of climate change issues, including the attainment of GHG reduction targets. Types of incentives include monetary reward (6 cities), recognition (6) and / or prizes (5).
