2021 is already powering up to be a bumper year for climate action, with the USA set to re-join the Paris Agreement and COP26 taking place at the end of the year. And after a successful reporting year in 2020 featuring over 10,000 disclosing corporations, cities, states and regions, CDP hopes to drive corporate ambition even higher in 2021.
CDP partners with environmental service providers who can help to support companies in all aspects of their environmental journey, from climate-related scenario analysis to designing a strategy for a water-secure and deforestation-free future. The accredited solutions provider programme helps CDP-reporting companies to identify the gaps in their environmental performance, and connects them up with experts who can address these gaps and identify further opportunities for becoming leaders in the corporate climate action space.
