Will the cCCR partner with like-minded programs?
While the cCCR is aimed to be the definitive global mechanism for reporting local climate action, it is acknowledged that similar efforts are also being conducted at the national and regional levels by various institutions and organizations. The cCCR is open to developing synergies with these efforts so that cities are more likely to consolidate their data. From a global climate governance standpoint, the cCCR aims to contribute to the design of National Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) and Measurable-Reportable-Verifiable climate actions at the local level. Another goal is to improve local government access to global climate funds. The cCCR approach to accounting and reporting local GHG emissions will also play a key role in developing the ISO standards for the carbon footprint of organizations.
