The latest insights from CDP, the global environmental disclosure system

We’re on the brink of a global tipping point. Our forests and ice are disappearing at an alarming rate, heatwaves are rocking Europe, and water stress is threatening a quarter of our global population. Yet at the same time we’re seeing renewed ambition from cities and companies. Renewable energy is becoming more competitive than fossil fuels, and investors are calling for the private sector to take bold action on climate change. With our future hanging in the balance, there’s still time for policymakers, local governments, companies and investors to take the necessary actions to build a low-carbon future. But to manage our environmental impact, first we must measure it.
