We further this mission by harnessing thecollective power of corporations, investors and political leadersto accelerate unified action on climate change.

Over 3,000 organizations in some 60 countriesaround the world now measure and disclose their greenhouse gasemissions, water management and climate change strategies throughCDP, in order that they can set reduction targets and makeperformance improvements. This data is made available for use by awide audience including institutional investors, corporations,policymakers and their advisors, public sector organizations,government bodies, academics and the public.
