NAZCA - CDP

What is NAZCA?

The Non-state Actor Zone for Climate Action (NAZCA) is an online portal hosted by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It highlights actions that cities, companies, investors, and regions – non-state actors – are taking to address climate change. Showing non-state climate ambition provides momentum to the climate talks and helps give governments the confidence to sign ambitious agreements at the Paris climate negotiations (COP 21).

What is CDP's role?

Drawing on vital information reported through the only global environmental disclosure system, CDP provides data for the NAZCA portal. Through our disclosure platform, we work to transform the way the world does business and prevent dangerous climate change by using measurement, transparency, and accountability to drive positive changes in business, investment, and policy.

The Global Climate Action Summit and the rise of disclosure

Paul Simpson, CDP's CEO - September 13 2018

2018 has been the year that companies, cities, states and regions, so called “non-state actors” have paved the way on climate and environmental action. While national governments are vital to the transition, it is through collective action and collaboration with these non-state actors that we will reach the pace and scale needed to truly build a sustainable economy.
