Top marks for City's climate reporting and action.
The City of Cape Town is the only African city to make it onto the 2021 Carbon Disclosure Project's (CDP ) Cities A-List of best performing global cities for its climate change data, transparency and action.
The CDP annually scores cities from
A to D based on their climate change response disclosure.
The score indicates how effectively cities are managing, measuring and tackling greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate risks.
‘The City is proud to be one of only 95 international cities to have been awarded top marks.
We can only take real action when we know what the situation is.
By reporting climate data through the CDP each year, Cape Town is transparent about its climate action, tracking progress, monitoring risks and benchmarking against other cities facing similar challenges.
The climate is changing and so must we.
By changing the way we consume, produce, go about our daily lives and interact with and support one another, we can make our city and households more resilient
to the changing climate and reduce the harmful actions that are causing climate change,' said the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Energy and Climate Change, Councillor Beverley van Reenen.

• Decreasing levels of average annual rainfall and changing seasonality of rainfall, which affects the amount of water to which we have access.
• An increase in the average annual temperature and increased maximum temperatures, which means an increase in hotter days, and more frequent and intense heat waves.
• An increase in the average wind and maximum wind strength.
• Rising sea levels and increased coastal erosion.
