The carbonn Cities Climate Registry (cCCR)

«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 was developed by local governments for local governments. The cCCR enables cities and local governments to publicly register their greenhouse gas reduction commitments, report performance and showcase actions. The cCCR ensures that local climate action is measurable, reportable and verifiable, and that data are consistent with the standards of the global climate regime. The cCCR supports the global credibility of local climate action and ensures transparency, countability and comparability.»
