Introduction

States and regions need to confirm their participation, which provides an indication to CDP and partners that the you are going to be participating for this year.

Step 2: Get started
Navigate to the States and Regions questionnaire block. Click ‘Get Started’ in the States and Regions program block.
Any contributor can confirm participation.
Step 3: Confirm Main User & Start questionnaire

If you decline to be Main User you will have to wait for the authorized Main User to start the questionnaire before you can access the ORS.
Step 4: Start questionnaire
Clicking ‘Start Questionnaire’ will open a new window, which leads you to the ORS where you can start responding to the questionnaire. Your response is now activated.
