Public authorities make society move. But they have a profound environmental impact and are increasingly vulnerable to the climate crisis.

Public Authorities questionnaire


Public authorities and crown corporations run critical systems used by millions of people each day, such as water, power, transportation, housing and waste management. They have a profound environmental and social impact. And as storms, wildfires and other climate change impacts become more severe and frequent, these vital systems are increasingly under threat.

Public authorities and Crown corporations are already taking environmental action. How do they know they are managing what matters most? And how do they let their investors, regulators and customers know of their progress?

In 2022, CDP launched a new environmental disclosure model tailored specifically for public authorities, including an annual questionnaire. Disclosure helps public authorities manage environmental impacts and risks, uncover opportunities and benchmark against peers.

Investors, regulators and customers seek to understand authorities’ environmental risk exposure and direct and indirect contributions to the climate crisis. Through data transparency, public authorities can meet stakeholder expectations and align with best practices to mitigate risk and increase resiliency.

Why disclose with CDP?


CDP provides the platform for public authorities to disclose environmental information at the request of their investors and other stakeholders. In addition to responding to this request, public authorities disclosing to their requesting stakeholders through CDP can gain tangible benefits:

  • Protect and improve your organization’s reputation
  • Get ahead of regulation
  • Uncover risks and opportunities
  • Track and benchmark progress
  • Improve access to finance and engage with investors
  • Attract climate infrastructure finance

Demand for climate-related disclosure has increased significantly since the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) released its recommendations. Public sector leaders have noted the importance of transparency on climate-related issues with several national governments and public sector organizations formally supporting the TCFD.

Disclosure demonstrates responsiveness to the expectations of capital markets and signals sustainability leadership to potential investors. In some cases, disclosure and transparency can help lead to a lower cost of capital when borrowing.

Reporting your pipeline of infrastructure and environmental projects through CDP’s questionnaire can help your organization attract climate finance. Public authorities are already making use of CDP’s Matchmaker program, showcasing climate and resiliency projects to the capital markets. Explore CDP’s resources to support sustainable infrastructure projects.

“CDP disclosure helps us align our climate change mitigation practices with global best practices, as well as understand the internal processes needed to strengthen and institutionalize the Agency’s long-term success in responding to climate change.”
Christine Weydig, Director of the Office of Environmental and Energy Programs at the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey

By working with CDP, public authorities have an unprecedented opportunity to advance sustainable infrastructure, bolster resilience and catalyze the transition to net-zero.


Public authorities are increasingly striving to manage environmental risks. Many are seeking financing for capital-intensive sustainability projects which, when implemented with an intentional equity focus, often directly benefit and empower historically marginalized communities and have immediate and long-term social impacts, such as reducing air pollution in majority-BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) neighborhoods.

But we must move faster and be bolder.

Fortifying our critical infrastructure systems can help cities and states withstand extreme weather caused by climate change, as well as create jobs, enhance social equity and drive economic development in their regions.

CDP’s public authorities disclosure initiative will create engagement and transfer of information between investors and public agencies seeking capital. The overall goal is to enhance transparency that will promote effective and efficient flows of capital and equitable community investment – allowing the resilient, green cities and states of tomorrow to take shape today.
