CDP

"There is no way to manage and build resilient cities without measuring their environmental and climate impacts. Through the CDP-ICLEI Track platform, cities, states, and regions can disclose their data and, from that, take urgent actions to build a truly sustainable economy." — Rodrigo Perpétuo, Executive Secretary of ICLEI for South America.   Disclose now: https://lnkd.in/e89ckqJc

Cities are a pivotal piece of the puzzle in meaningfully and effectively tackling climate change. Over 1,100 cities disclosed data through CDP-ICLEI Track in 2023, with 636 cities reporting a total of 2,346 climate-related projects, worth $146 billion, seeking financing and funding. Every single city needs investment to be ramped up to meet its climate goals, and the Cities Climate Finance Leadership Alliance (CCFLA) State of Cities Climate Finance report is a timely guide on where and how to mobilize more finance for city-level climate action at scale.

❗️The 2030 Biodiversity Goals and Targets may be our last chance to achieve real progress on biodiversity and secure a livable planet.    Our success will be based on data and putting the right mechanisms in place during #COP16 to monitor implementation, drive progress and hold laggards to account.      Through a series of events at #COP16 in Colombia , CDP will be putting data at the heart of negotiations to ensure we make the implementation COP a success. ➡ Discover more and connect with CDP leadership and experts: https://lnkd.in/e-X4agww     #COP16 #PeaceWithNature  #COP16Colombia #Biodiversity #ClimateAction #NaturePositive

As another Climate Week draws to a close, we’re proud of the progress achieved, and look forward to more impactful partnerships and conversations. For CDP, collaboration was at the heart of this week’s successes. Our CEO Sherry Madera stood alongside President Joe Biden, Mike Bloomberg and Mary Schapiro to mark a new stage in our partnership with Net-Zero Data Public Utility (NZDPU), introducing the next use case for CDP data. This follows our new collaboration with Brazil’s Securities & Exchange Commission, as a powerful demonstration of our commitment to evolve disclosure through our “write once, use many” approach. These initiatives ensure businesses can disclose their core climate data once, making it widely accessible without additional reporting – driving action where it matters most.  And we’ve shown how it’s working. Our new research demonstrates how a single disclosure can support businesses not only to reduce supply chain emissions, but unlock new opportunities.  The path ahead remains challenging. To succeed, we must continue to streamline and evolve disclosure, making data more efficient and effective for businesses and the planet. Thank you to everyone who joined us at CDP-led events and other key events throughout #ClimateWeekNYC. Let’s stay united in our efforts to propel #climateaction beyond this week.

Measuring and managing supply chain emissions makes business sense.    With corporate supply chain emissions (scope 3) on average 26x greater than operational emissions (scopes 1 and 2), companies have the opportunity to reduce environmental impacts and future-proof their businesses, by cascading transparency and action down the supply chain.    Using insights and learnings from more than 340 major corporate buyers engaging their suppliers through CDP’s Supply Chain Program, our latest report, funded by HSBC, identifies buyer practices driving climate action from suppliers:  https://lnkd.in/e_En3RS4
