Launch of CDP 2022 reporting platform
Climate actions of cities and municipalities and their progress require reporting. In order for it to run efficiently and to put the least possible burden on local governments, they need an appropriate tool. With the CDP platform, you only need to submit 1 report for all your obligations! By completing the CDP cities questionnaire, you can simultaneously report to the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy, C40 Cities, Under2 Coalition, Cities Race to Zero and Cities Race to Resilience, as well as various ICLEI initiatives and many more.
The 2022 reporting cycle has already started - on the CDP-ICLEI Track platform you will find cities questionnaire, which has been simplified this year and contains less than 40% of the questions compared to last year.

Robotisation of invoice handling in Bydgoszcz
An innovative way of managing documents more efficiently in the office has been implemented by our member city Bydgoszcz, introducing RPA technology, i.e. the Automation of Business Processes.

It allows more efficient management of the city's electricity consumption needs and, consequently, results in the city paying less for energy. In addition, it optimises work in the office and frees officials from performing boring, tedious and repetitive tasks, allowing them to engage in creative work for the city and its residents.

Bielsko-Biała launches the energy advisory program for inhabitants
Bielsko-Biała has been protecting the climate and caring for the welfare of its inhabitants by implementing various measures for saving energy and environmental resources for many years. In the face of constantly rising energy prices and increasing energy demand in the city, solutions which allow to build energy-saving habits in a simple way and to implement positive changes are of particular importance.
