CDP Open Data Portal

Description

CDP (Disclosure Insight Action) is a not-for-profit charity that runs a global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts. Each year CDP supports thousands of companies, cities, states and regions to measure and manage their risks and opportunities on climate change, water security and deforestation. The climate actions disclosed, as well as CDP analysis, can be viewed and downloaded on the CDP’s Open Data Portal. Information is organised in eight themes that include Climate Hazard, Adaptation and Mitigation Actions.

Disclosing environmental data through CDP has a huge number of advantages, from improved engagement to centralizing data and tracking progress. Companies, by reporting to CDP, can gain competitive advantage. Disclosure helps companies get ahead of regulatory and policy changes, identify and tackle growing risks, and find new opportunities for action that investors and customers worldwide are demanding.

CDP works with over 800 cities measuring and disclosing environmental data each year to manage emissions, build resilience, protect themselves from climate impacts and create better places for people to live and work. These cities are disclosing over 8,000 urban sustainability actions, demonstrating their commitment to building a sustainable economy and tackling climate change. Over 120 state and regional governments disclose to CDP from 32 countries, representing over 672 million people, 21% of the global economy and over 5 GtCO2e.
