carbonn Cities Climate Registry

The carbonn Cities Climate Registry (cCCR) is a global mechanism that encourages local governments to regularly and publicly report on their greenhouse gas reduction commitments, GHG emissions inventories and climate mitigation/adaptation actions.

The cCCR designed by local governments for local governments as a means of enabling measurable, reportable and verifiable local climate action.

The carbonn Cities Climate Registry helps

  • Local governments to achieve transparency and accountability of local climate actions, demonstrate leadership and initiate a process for direct access to global climate funds.
  • National governments and the global climate community gain a better understanding of the achievements, performance and ambitions of local climate action and formulate appropriate global climate policies which also incorporate involvement of local governments.

The carbonn Cities Climate Registry is

  • Based on the experience of voluntary local climate action dispersed globally.
  • Inspired by the vision of the Local Government Climate Roadmap.
  • Built on the success of the Copenhagen World Catalogue of Local Climate Commitments.
  • Informed by the guidance of the International Local Government GHG Emissions Analysis Protocol (IEAP).
  • Linked to existing efforts for enhanced global climate action on a trajectory leading beyond 2012.

The carbonn Climate Cities Registry is launched at the World Mayors Summit on Climate, 21 November 2010 in Mexico City.
