Solving the plastics crisis is critical to ensure a healthy and resilient environment for us and future generations. Most companies still haven’t assessed the environmental and human health impacts of the plastics in their value chains, despite evidence of the extensive negative impacts. Without this kind of information, we’re flying blind. Corporate transparency is the key to unlocking capital and driving ambitious action. It’s time to make it mandatory. The final negotiations for the Global Plastics Treaty (INC-5), taking place this week, are a momentous opportunity to prioritize accountability and eliminate plastic pollution for good. Acting now to hold companies to account will futureproof our economy and protect the Earth for future generations.

📢CDP welcomes the final report of the #G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group (SFWG) for 2024, presented under Brazil's G20 Presidency. The recommendations under each priority area cover crucial aspects of sustainable finance and would be key to creating a more inclusive and effective architecture for global sustainable finance. The inclusion of the SFWG's recommendations in the Declaration sets a decisive path toward unified and actionable commitments for sustainable development, underscoring our shared responsibility and urgent need to foster a sustainable financial future globally. Moving forward, we are excited to continue supporting the G20 SFWG's recommendations with initiatives like our dedicated SME Questionnaire, which has already empowered over 12,500 companies to embark on their sustainability journey. Additionally, our focus on advancing credible, robust, and just transition plans will further contribute to a global economy that is resilient, inclusive, and aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. #G20Brazil #SFWG #sustainablefinance #SMEdisclosures

At #COP29 , governments must take a whole-of-economy outlook when updating their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to create truly investible goals. Many businesses are already measuring and managing their impact and will be best placed to lead the corporate transition. Leading businesses have realized that efficiency, competitiveness and climate action across the value chain go hand in hand. Our latest supply chain report with HSBC found companies estimate that upstream climate-related opportunities could result in US$165 billion in potential financial gains. This is nearly 2x greater than the US$94 billion needed to realize these opportunities. Through CDP's Supply Chain Program, corporate buyers are shining a light on the climate risks in their supply chains and advancing sustainability initiatives while futureproofing their bottom line.

By leveraging their power to organize climate action, #cities and #states & #regions are at the heart of implementing #NationallyDeterminedContributions (NDCs) among business, financial actors and stakeholders, from NGOs to citizens. Subnational governments are key to helping national governments, and public and private sector financial institutions, determine the "investibility" of NDCs - their accountability, bankability and credibility - by the ambition level of a subnational government's climate action and adaptation plans, as much as their resource needs and barriers to implementation. A chance to breathe new life into NDCs at #COP29 is a critical opportunity to mitigate #ClimateChange , protect and restore nature and build resilience. A whole-of-economy approach to NDCs will lead us there, as well as driving economic growth and resilience, innovation, and job creation.

Subnational governments (cities, states and regions) are key to help national governments and multilateral development banks determine the "investability" of NDCs, from the ambition level of cities’ climate action and adaptation plans to resource needs and barriers. CDP empowers cities to share this critical data between different levels of government, the private sector and civil society. ➡ Cities, states and regions have until December 2nd to disclose through CDP: https://lnkd.in/eycHhrsm

CDP is proud to announce the development and agreement of four essential criteria for mature landscape and seascape initiatives, agreed upon by 20 leading organizations and coordinated by ISEAL and CDP. Landscape and seascape approaches are simple to understand and integral pieces for the implementation of nature policies and transition plans. They look at the root causes of systemic drivers of nature loss and develop context-based management plans to drive sustained collaboration, investments, and ultimately socio-ecological resilience. Take a look at the minimal criteria and sub-criteria for landscape and seascape initiatives that organizations agreed on: https://lnkd.in/eyPAjiKy ✅ Criteria 1. Scale ✅ Criteria 2. Multi-stakeholder governance processes or platforms ✅ Criteria 3. Collective goals and actions ✅ Criteria 4. Monitoring and reporting systems By integrating these principles with tools like geospatial tracking and CDP’s standardized disclosures, this resource offers a blueprint for assessing initiative maturity, fostering holistic collaboration, and amplifying positive environmental and social outcomes. Whether you're initiating new initiatives or refining existing efforts, this guide supports strategic decision-making to drive meaningful, lasting impact. #SustainabilityLeadership #LandscapeInitiatives #SustainableLandscapes #LandscapeApproach #CollaborativeAction

Making sure comprehensive environmental data can be put to use is key to corporate transition plans that promote a nature-positive economy and unlock valuable growth opportunities for businesses.

As we enter a critical second week of negotiations at #COP29 , we know that governments have to agree on an ambitious new finance goal in order to meet their commitments already set out in the Paris Agreement and the Global Stocktake. To G20 Leaders: 38,000+ businesses and society leaders are ready to transform the global economy. To do this, we have two asks: ➡ Move the money: Agree a high-ambition finance goal at COP29 which catalyzes the finance required to meet the needs of developing economies. ➡ Publish the plans: Submit national climate plans by February that are 1.5°C-aligned, sector-specific and backed by investment positive policies that can turbocharge sustainable growth. It’s not game over, it’s game on. #Mission2025 www.mission2025.world

#SMEs are the backbone of our global economy and a critical force in building a healthy planet. COP29’s ambition is unreachable without the power of SMEs, and #ClimateProofingSMEs is here to ensure that small and medium-sized businesses are empowered to lead the way. #ClimateProofingSMEs elevates the role of SMEs in the journey to a resilient, net-zero future. By bringing together global and local organizations, it creates a connected supporting ecosystem for SMEs to tackle systemic barriers and build their capacity to not only survive but shape the pathway and thrive as a result of the green transition. CDP is stepping up our efforts to better support and empower SMEs across major and emerging markets and has launched a dedicated SME questionnaire in 2024, making it easier for small businesses to understand their climate impact, identify focus areas, and act. In our last cycle, more than 12,500 SMEs disclosed through CDP, creating more robust data that will drive informed decision-making, financing, and action to keep 1.5°C alive. CDP is supporting this campaign and welcoming the leadership of Nigar Arpadarai , UN Climate Change High-Level Champion for #COP29 .

📢 Standardized environmental data is the backbone of the Paris Agreement. As governments gather in Baku for #COP29 , CDP was delighted to share some updates on our collaborations with EFRAG and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and our efforts to streamline reporting and increase access to consistent, comparable data. With the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) ’s climate standard, IFRS S2, as CDP’s foundational baseline for climate disclosure, you might be wondering how it all fits together. You can find out more below ⬇️ As companies navigate a complex reporting landscape, CDP and our partners are aligned on the solution: “write once, use many”. The ethos behind CDP’s alignment is that companies are best served if they can continue to disclose once to CDP and have their data used by many capital market actors, customers, policymakers and more. This has led more than 24,800 companies to disclose IFRS S2-aligned data through CDP in 2024.
