Wealthier, healthier cities

In this report, CDP, C40 and AECOM present the results of analysis based on the responses of 110 global cities, which represents the largest and most comprehensive collection of self-reported data on cities and climate change assembled to date by CDP.
The data from these cities makes clear that the benefit of taking action on climate change at the city level is not limited to reducing emissions or adapting to warmer temperatures. The cities in the survey are engaged on the issue of climate change, and, as a result, are saving money, creating more attractive investment environments, and enabling citizens to live healthier lives. In short, climate change action by local governments around the world is creating wealthier, healthier cities.
