The Climate Group is an independent non-profit organization working with leading companies, states and cities around the world to show that cutting carbon makes good sense not just for the environment, but for jobs and economic growth. Since 2004, we have been bringing together some of the world’s biggest companies and the most influential leaders in government. Through our global network, and through our public and private sector partnerships we get these leaders talking and sharing ideas on the game-changing policies, financing and technologies we need to tackle climate change and unlock a 'clean industrial revolution'.

The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is an independent not-for-profit organization holding the largest database of primary corporate climate change and water information in the world. Over 3,000 organizations and cities across the world’s major economies now measure and disclose information on their greenhouse gas emissions, water usage and assessment of climate change risk and opportunity through CDP, so that they can set reduction targets and make performance improvements.
Data is gathered on behalf of 551 institutional investors with US$71 trillion in assets, as well as major purchasing corporations and government bodies that work with CDP to achieve more sustainable supply chains. Since its formation in 2000, CDP has become a globally established process for placing valuable climate change and water related information at the heart of business, policy and investment decisions.

Recognizing the importance to reduce global carbon emissions, and the value of leading by example, New York has set the goal of reducing its municipal government’s carbon emissions 17% by 2030.
One of the great challenges of our time is to find solutions to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The Academy draws on its extensive network of leading researchers, academic and business leaders, investors, entrepreneurs, and policy makers to convene workshops to address environmental challenges including climate change. Its consulting arm works with New York State to assess the clean technology asset base required to meet the State’s Climate Action Plan Goals. In addition, to disseminate policy recommendations on the topic, the Academy has published the New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC) report in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.
