Project description
In view of the urgent need to take action for limiting global warming to 1.5°C, WWF's One Planet City Challenges (OPCC) aims at mobilizing local climate action and creating global leadership. The OPCC 2019-2020 assesses cities' climate trajectories against a 1.5°C scenario and gives them feedback for enhanced action. Local governments around the globe have demonstrated ambitious climate commitment and leadership. The OPCC invites cities in participating countries to take part in a friendly competition, by reporting these in CDP and ICLEI's unified reporting system. Through the OPCC, cities compile and report data on their climate-related targets, actions, performance and planning. These data are later assessed and compared with WWF's evaluation methodology which then provides recommendations for a 1.5°C emission reduction trajectory and awards national and global OPCC winners.
