The Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy (GCoM) is the largest global alliance for city climate leadership, built upon the commitment of over 10,000 cities and local governments.
Data4Cities is GCoM’s evidence-based foundational initiative to measure and manage cities and local governments’ climate ambition and progress. Data4Cities lays the foundations for standardized data by streamlining – with consistency and transparency – how and what climate information from cities is collected, what data can be made available to support cities to act, alongside the mechanisms used to analyse this information.
- The Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE), launched by GCoM and Google, is designed to make Google’s significant data resources available to cities with the aim of accelerating measurement and planning stages for cities in favor of action.
- The Data Portal for Cities, designed by GCoM and the World Resources Institute, helps cities unlock community-specific activity data and emission factors to develop greenhouse gas emissions inventories and fact-based climate action planning.
