Forests
Deforestation and forest degradation account for approximately 10-15% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Addressing deforestation is therefore critical for meeting international ambitions to prevent dangerous climate change. CDP's work with forests acts on behalf of over 525 signatory investors, with US$96 trillion in assets, who wish to understand how companies are addressing their exposure to deforestation risks.
Information is collected through the lens of the four agricultural commodities responsible for most deforestation:
Timber
Palm oil
Cattle
Soy
