The Climate Group’s Annual Disclosure, in partnership with CDP, provides a transparent, global picture of the impact, progress and climate action driven by state and regional governments around the world.

The Global States and Regions Annual Disclosure 2019 is the most comprehensive account of state and regional climate action released to date and summarizes data from 124 states and regions from 35 countries, with a combined population of 669 million people, representing 20% of the global economy
Each year states and regions from around the world disclose their climate action, targets and progress to The Climate Group and CDP. This data provides an insight into progress towards reaching the Paris Agreement and keeping the global temperature rise to well below 2°C.
