We cannot tackle the challenges of deforestation, water security, biodiversity loss and climate change in isolation. They are interdependent problems that need integrated solutions.

CDP engages with policymakers to ensure that climate change, deforestation, water security and a wide range of environmental issues are considered in their decision making, leveraging data and insights from our three thematic questionnaires.
