The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), now simply known as CDP, is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2000 with the mission of driving companies, cities, states, and regions to measure and manage their environmental impacts. The CDP operates a global disclosure system that enables these entities to report their environmental data, including greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and deforestation efforts. The organization's goal is to create a more sustainable economy by promoting transparency, accountability, and action on climate change, water security, and deforestation.
