Annual city-wide emissions for more than 30 global cities. Includes information about how cities measured emissions (primary protocol).

CDP’s forests program targets the largest companies globally, collecting data on their management of deforestation risk through the lens of key agricultural drivers of deforestation (timber, palm oil, soy, cattle products & biofuels). In 2015, 700 companies are requested to respond to the program. The request is issued on behalf of 298 investor signatories with $19 trillion in assets.

Dataset of risk data from respondents to CDP’s forests program in 2013 and 2014. Includes data on company risk assessment processes, as well as the reputational, regulatory and operational risks they identified. This dataset excludes private responders.

Please note that not all companies report on all forest risk commodities. This may be due to the company submitting a partial disclosure or because only a limited number of the commodities are relevant to their business.

Cities are leading the transition to a sustainable economy. In 2017 almost 400 cities told CDP about how they are working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Explore how cities are working to reduce their climate impact.

In 2016, cities reported over 2,000 climate hazards that are impacting their cities. Globally, cities are reporting that health and community will be most impacted by climate change.

In 2017, Over 120 cities used the Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories (GPC) methodology to calculate their emissions. This is a 70% increase on the previous year. Explore cities emissions inventory data to better understand what cities are managing.

This visualisation shows the most frequently cited climate hazards by cities in 2022, disaggregated by magnitude of hazard impact.

All data included in the dataset is self reported by cities through the 2022 Cities Questionnaire. Please note that the reporting platform remains open for submissions until the end of the year and the dataset is updated daily to reflect new submissions. Access more information on cities reporting, including questionnaire guidance, at https://www.cdp.net/en/guidance/guidance-for-cities.

This data is collected through CDP-ICLEI Track. When using this data, please cite both organisations using the following wording: ‘This data was collected in partnership by CDP and ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability’.

This line chart visualizes 3 different degree scenarios (2°C, 4°C & 6°C) from 2010 to 2050 modeled using CDP and IEA ETP 2014 data alongside a target scenario that tracks Compact of States and Regions targets. Analysis is based on the 43 of 62 governments with region-wide GHG targets and inventories that have joined the Compact of States and Regions.
The scenarios reflect the following:
- 6DS: reflects a ‘business as usual’ projection that doesn't include national or state and regional commitments to reduce emissions;
- 4DS: reflects a 'reference case' projection that includes pre-2012 national commitments to reduce emissions;
- 2DS: reflects the pathway to implement a sustainable energy system in line with a 2° world; and,
- CTS: reflects state and regional commitments to reduce emissions.

The Compact of States and Regions is run by CDP and The Climate Group.

This dataset outlines the city-wide emissions including a breakdown of the gases as well as the overall changes in the emissions reported. Please contact cities@cdp.net for further information on the breakdown of emissions under this protocol and on how to use this data.

Complete open data set for companies that responded to the 2014 water questionnaire.

Through our investor initiative we target the largest listed companies in the world, as determined by market capitalization, in sectors for which water is a material issue. We currently cover the Global 500, S&P 500 and FTSE 100 indices as well as the largest companies in Australia, Japan and South Africa.

Water is also incorporated into CDP’s supply chain program. In this initiative, large multinational companies (our Supply Chain Members) issue CDP’s water questionnaire to a number of their suppliers. This exercise allows companies to investigate the water risk in their supply chain and gather vital information about water use outside their direct operations.

This year, we have invited approximately 2,300 companies to respond to CDP’s water questionnaire through our investor and supply chain initiatives. This data set excludes private responders.
