CoM SSSA cities shall report against the attribute(s) affordability, security, and sustainability. The 2023 Cities Questionnaire is fully aligned with the Energy Access and Poverty Pillar (EAPP). EAPP questions have an indication of the regional attribute they are connected to and are highlighted for easy recognition with the ^ symbol.

GCoM jurisdictions are required to report on at least one indicator from their GCoM Regional/National Covenant’s chosen energy attribute.

These attributes are:

  • Secure energy
  • Sustainable energy
  • Affordable energy

The energy questions in Section 4 (4.1, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3, 4.1.4, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4) have been designed to align with the reporting requirements of multiple projects and/or initiatives, principally the ‘Assessment’ phase of the Energy Access and Poverty Pillar. The ‘Plan’ phase elements can be reported in questions 8.1/8.1.1, and in 9.1/9.2 (in two final columns GCoM cities will be requested to indicate if any actions reported address energy-related issues and the related indicators), while the ‘Target’ elements are addressed in Question 7.1.

This question is mandatory to be compliant with the GCoM ‘Energy Access and Poverty Pillar’ assessment. All mandatory columns (highlighted with ^ symbol) must be answered appropriately.

This question is mandatory to be compliant with the GCoM Energy Access and Poverty Pillar badge. All mandatory columns (highlighted with ^ symbol) must be answered appropriately.

Here are some helpful tips on how to avoid common mistakes when completing the mandatory columns:

Mandatory columns Avoiding common mistakes
Column 1 - Target type Please select a target type according to your region’s requirements.
Column 3 - Boundary The boundary shall be the same or larger than the community boundary. If it is smaller or partial, please explain the exclusion in the text box.
Column 5 - Base year Please specify the base year. The base year shall be equal or prior to the reporting year.
Column 6 - Metric used to measure target type if a renewable energy target To report compliance against the requirements of 'Units' and 'Target Setting', a percentage must be selected as a metric in column 6 (if a renewable energy target) or written as a percentage in column 7 (if not a renewable energy target). This is to allow the comparison of percentage from the target year in relation to the base year.
Column 7 - Metric used to measure target type if not a renewable energy target To report with compliance against the requirements of 'Units' and 'Target Setting', a percentage must be selected as a metric in column 6 (if a renewable energy target) or written as a percentage in column 7 (if not a renewable energy target). This is to allow the comparison of percentages from the target year in relation to the base year.
Column 7 - Metric used to measure target type if not a renewable energy target To report with compliance against the requirements of 'Units' and 'Target Setting', a percentage must be selected as a metric in column 6 (if a renewable energy target) or written as a percentage in column 7 (if not a renewable energy target). This is to allow the comparison of percentages from the target year in relation to the base year.
Column 8 - Metric value in base year Please report the metric value in base year (the quantitative target results).
Column 9 - Target year Please specify the target year. The target year shall be equal or post to the reporting year. The GCoM recommends using 2030 as the target year in alignment with SDG 7.
Column 10 - Metric value in target year Please ensure that in column 10 you report the increase/decrease as a percentage change from the base year. For example: a 50% reduction/increase relative to 2010.
