Today, #COP28 focuses on accountability and finance. Without world-class data there is no transparency, a vital step towards accountability. Explore what our data tells us about the state of corporate and financial sector environmental activity in 2023.

CDP's CEO Sherry Madera joined Emmanuel Macron, Mike Bloomberg, Mark Carney, Emmanuel Faber, Mary Schapiro at COP28 to launch the Net-Zero Data Public Utility (NZDPU) proof of concept, powered by CDP data. By collaborating with the NZDPU, CDP’s global, trusted source data can be leveraged to accelerate the net-zero transition - one great example of how we power environmental action.

The UK as part of the G7 has committed to achieving net-zero by 2050 or before. At COP26 the UK government committed to “phase down” fossil fuels alongside other essential climate commitments. Marking itself as a world leader in the fight against climate change.
There can be no space now for domestic backtracking. If we are to have any chance of limiting warming to 1.5, which is essential to avert the worst impact of climate change, we must see the government increase ambition to honour commitments made. This year saw record breaking temperatures across the globe that lead to adverse weather that had disastrous impact including loss of life and livelihoods; and disruption to global supply chains. Making this announcement morally bankrupt and bad for the UK economy.
The UK government's announcement today sends the wrong signals to the market and that we have time before we must act. Governments must be held to account to their commitments. The time for action must be now.

Unbelievable find! Scientists have discovered 20,000+ octopuses clustered around deep-sea volcanic springs—the largest known ‘octopus garden’ to date.
This latest discovery highlights how much we still don’t know about the deep-sea. pew.org/3PzcT4d

Confession: I can't hit a note; I'm a frustrated singer. But inspired by @PlumVillage's Brother Phap Huu, I'm teaching myself to rap.
This is my first attempt, about where we are on climate, written & performed by rookie me + much patient coaching from family & friends! Hit it!
Packed room for @IFRSFoundation launch of the #ISSB reporting standards IFRS S1 & S2. @CDP has long advocated for a global baseline for environmental disclosure and it's wonderful to see it move a step closer
