Not-for-prot organization that works to reduce GHG emissions and drive sustainable water use by business and cities" Works with 655 institutional investors holding US$78 trillion in assets to help reveal the risk in their investment portfolios. " Requests information on GHG emissions, energy use and the risks and opportunities from climate change from thousands of the worlds largest companies and cities" 50 purchasing organizations such as Dell, PepsiCo and Walmart, National Grid are using the global CDP system to mitigate environmental risk in their supply chains"

We also believe in Bloombergs adage, In God we trust, everyone else bring data " We help cities solve the challenges facing them in relation to climate change" It ts our global, urban, regeneration agenda and expertise " It is important to understand how cities are viewing the risks that they face from climate change"
