Ban Ki-moon’s clarion call for bold, transformative action and solutions clearly resonates with ICLEI’s agenda in New York. ICLEI will feed its rich experience, expertise and vision to the success of the Climate Summit 2014 in New York. It will support a number of groundbreaking cities initiatives on finance, resilience, carbon pricing, buildings, energy and waste, including the Compact of Mayors, the biggest cooperative effort for cities to cut their greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for the impacts of climate change. It will also engage with various stakeholders in high level policy dialogues and networking events.

Operated by ICLEI since 2010, the carbonn Climate Registry is the international reporting platform for local and sub-national climate action. It supports cities and regions in progressing with transparency, moving towards Measureable, Reportable, Verifiable (MRV) climate action – addressing mitigation and adaptation.
The carbonn Climate Registry is a publicly available, free-to-use platform. More than 460 cities representing 12% of the worlds urban population are voluntarily reporting over 4000 actions and 870 commitments. It is directly linked to and compliant with the new Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GPC), a new standard for city-level GHG accounting and reporting.
The data available in the carbonn Climate Registry will be critical in informing the global climate community of the progress of credible and transparent local climate action. It will raise the level of trustworthiness of reporting cities and regions –supporting improved access to climate finance. Read more
