#### Key Findings

- In 2023, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for over 30% of CDP’s global disclosures, with nearly 8,000 submissions – a 30% increase from the previous cycle.
- South Korea, Vietnam, and Cambodia recorded the highest relative increases in CDP disclosures, while China, Japan, and South Korea saw the most significant absolute increases.
- Nearly 40% of A List companies are from the Asia-Pacific region, with Japan leading in climate change, forest, and water security A List companies.
- Staying within 1.5°C remains a key goal, but target adoption has stagnated. Although transition plans have increased, less than a third have financial planning to support them.


The Asia-Pacific region, contributing over 30% of CDP’s global disclosures, has made significant strides in environmental reporting. In 2023, a record 8,000 companies, valued at $14 trillion, disclosed their data, marking a 170% increase since 2020 and an annual growth rate surpassing the global average of 24%. However, greater ambition is needed to meet our challenges and accelerate the transition to net zero and nature-positive outcomes.

Similarly, greater progress is needed to establish robust targets for emissions reductions. Despite increased climate disclosures in the Asia-Pacific, progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions is slow. While the number of 1.5°C-aligned targets is rising, their proportion remains unchanged.

Addressing climate change and nature loss together is crucial in the Asia-Pacific due to its biodiversity, economic reliance on natural resources and climate vulnerability. Despite this, less than 30% of the Asia-Pacific companies disclosing through CDP in 2023 provide information on nature-related issues, highlighting the need for a broader environmental focus.

On a positive note, disclosures on nature-related topics, such as water security, are steadily increasing and keeping pace with climate disclosures.
