Just how how much pollution do large cities produce? That’s what the Carbon Disclosure Project aims to find out. The CDP is hoping to determine the carbon footprint of over 50 of the world’s largest urban centers, and already three major cities have signed up: Toronto, New York City, and London.

The CDP would see these cities voluntarily measure and report on their carbon emissions.

“We know cities are the largest producers of carbon emissions, but it is vital that these outputs are quantified and in the public domain in order to track our progress in reducing them,” London mayor Boris Johnson said. “London’s city government is already committed to disclosing a range of data, not just with regard to climate change, to help catalyse change to the benefit of residents.”
