How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- AI-Enabled Risk-to-Action Linking for Climate Adaptationmethodology: ai_enabled_risk_action_linkingBy using AI-powered platforms to connect climate and nature risk data with adaptation planning, CDP enables subnational governments to take targeted action because machine learning identifies context-specific vulnerabilities and prioritizes feasible interventions.
- Dual-Model Data Generation for Environmental Decision-Makingmethodology: dual_model_information_for_decision_makingBy operating through a dual model that integrates nonprofit and commercial activities, CDP generates robust environmental data because aligning diverse operational streams under a shared mission increases data reach, quality, and influence on Earth-positive decisions.
- Membership-Driven Support for Environmental Actionmethodology: membership-driven environmental actionBy offering membership programs that provide data access and targeted support, CDP accelerates environmental action because structured engagement lowers barriers to sustainability planning and increases organizational capacity to act.
- Stakeholder Partnerships for Emissions Reductionmethodology: stakeholder partnership for emissions reductionBy building partnerships with external stakeholders, CDP drives emissions reductions because collaborative relationships enhance data collection, build trust, and enable co-developed sustainability strategies that are more likely to be implemented.
