Explore CDP's data for cities, companies and investors
Through our global disclosure system we have the most comprehensive collection of self-reported environmental data in the world. This data is invaluable for cities, companies and investors to take urgent action to build a truly sustainable economy.
At CDP we focus on three main data categories: cities, states and regions data, corporate data and data for investors. On this page you can find out how these categories can benefit you in your decision making and how you can access it.
We also publish two annual A Lists – one for companies and one for cities. Find out more about CDP Scores.
Cities, states and regions data
Cities, states and regions data
Explore climate-related datasets for cities and states and regions on CDP’s Open Data Portal. Here you can freely access and download datasets to help provide you with insight into local climate action.
Our data is self-reported by governments through our annual questionnaire and includes information on emissions, climate actions and climate risks.
We believe that data lies at the heart of the sustainable transition, and we make this data available free of charge.
We encourage users to use this data to help governments track progress on reducing emissions, adapt to climate risks and drive economic development.
Corporate data
Enjoy full access to information reported by thousands of companies to map trends, model emissions data and pinpoint emerging best practice. Delivered to you in a malleable format for maximum analytic potential, the CDP commercial data packages facilitate insight and action by matching your innovation and expertise with the power of the largest primary environmental dataset in the world.
CDP's commercial dataset can be licensed for use as an internal research and analysis tool or to develop impactful products and services.
Academic datasets can be licensed to a single faculty for research and peer-reviewed publication or as a university-wide resource for students and academics alike.
Data for investors
Explore our Full Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Dataset. It's one of the most popular features of our investor membership package as it includes both self-reported and estimated Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions data for over 5,000 companies.
This is an essential tool for carbon footprint analysis and includes details of data quality and source information.
Our 2019 GHG modelled emissions dataset is now available. Documentation is available here.
The dataset is only available to CDP Investor Members and can be accessed through the investor dashboard in the 'My Files and Tools' section.

Our annual Companies A List celebrates corporate leadership on environmental performance and transparency, with CDP scoring thousands of companies from A to D- across climate change, deforestation and water security.
Meanwhile our new Cities A List names the world's cities leading on environmental action to reduce emissions, adapt to climate risks and manage water resources.
