Climate reporting is currently in the midst of a paradigm shift, with companies around the world facing an influx of new and evolving disclosure requirements that will change the way many produce climate data, including GHG emissions and targets. Over the next few years more companies than ever before will have to report under mandatory requirements. Some will report emissions for the first time - a selection of those requirements are summarized in the graphic below. This shift signals the opportunity for a new era of more streamlined reporting of climate data, bringing with it greater transparency that, in turn, can help us build a more informed picture of where we stand on our collective climate transition journey. We are building for the future. The #NZDPU’s mission is to become a central repository of private-sector, climate transition-related data that is transparent and openly accessible to all. #climate #disclosure #nzdpu #netzero #regulation #sustainability #policy #carbonfootprint #climatedata #climatefinance
Net-Zero Data Public Utility (NZDPU)
Climate Data and Analytics
A unified, global, open climate transition-related data repository. Proof of concept launched at COP28.
About us
A lack of accessible, high-quality and comparable climate data remains one of the most significant barriers to achieving a global net-zero economy. Launched by French President Emmanuel Macron and United Nations (UN) Secretary-General’s Special Envoy on Climate Ambition and Solutions Michael R. Bloomberg in June 2022, the Climate Data Steering Committee (CDSC) recommended the creation of the Net-Zero Data Public Utility (NZDPU), a unified, global, open climate transition-related data repository. The mission of the NZDPU is to provide a central source of company-level climate transition-related data that is transparent and openly accessible to all. The release of the NZDPU proof of concept took place at COP28 in December 2023 and was a major milestone towards achieving this vision. Supported by CDP, the proof of concept provides an initial set of companies’ Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 GHG emissions and emissions reduction targets. Once development is completed, the NZDPU is intended to ultimately be integrated with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)’s Global Climate Action Portal.

Net-Zero Data Public Utility (NZDPU) reposted this
I have just returned to New York City feeling energized after three weeks of exciting and thought-provoking engagements across several countries with various stakeholders on critical topics the NZDPU is working on. In Dublin, we (#NZDPU) attended the One Planet Sovereign Wealth Fund’s 2024 Mid-Term Delegates Meeting convened by Lawrence Yanovitch and had the opportunity to discuss the impacts of the evolving climate data disclosure landscape for private market investors. In Switzerland we were invited to the Wolfsberg Summit organized by Sonja Gibbs, CFA and Judson Berkey and contributed thoughts on how climate transition-related data can best be leveraged to drive the transition to a net-zero economy. I was also able to deliver keynote remarks at an exceptional corporate round table event hosted by Patrick Odier and Marko Roeder at #BuildingBridges that featured Christoph Baumann from State Secretariat for International Finance SIF and Marion Leslie from SIX in Berne. The last (but certainly not least!) stop of my whirlwind tour was London Climate Action Week (#LCAW)! David Harris and the LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) kindly hosted two #NZDPU roundtables at their offices, where we heard feedback from both corporates and investors on the ongoing challenges they face regarding disclosing and using climate transition-related data. We were also able to participate in the exciting launch of #TransitionArc with Climate Arc (congratulations to Meryam Omi, Felix Preston, and team!) and attended the Climate Innovation Forum Gala as a team to conclude the trip. My main takeaway? The ecosystem is ready and eager to come together. We, collectively, have the chance to build a more interconnected climate data ecosystem, a principle at the core of NZDPU’s ethos. Interconnectivity and collaboration are essential to move the needle on the transition to net zero. At #NZDPU we will continue to engage across the ecosystem to bring the voice of the user to the forefront, enabling us to drive the integration of climate data into decision making.

We're looking forward to chatting with Climate Arc other leaders in #climatefinance this week at #LCAW2024
We’re very excited to launch #TransitionArc, our new flagship tool, next Thursday during #LCAW2024. TransitionArc is a one-stop tool to assess corporate transitions on climate goals. At the Climate Innovation Forum, hosted by Climate Action, we’ll bring together leaders in climate finance to discuss the corporate transition: barriers, solutions, and the vital need for new tools like #TransitionArc, which will go live during the event. We look forward to welcoming Dylan Tanner, Faith Ward, Vicky Sins, Jaakko Kooroshy, Simone Kramer, Nicolette Bartlett, Nina Pimblett and Mardi McBrien for this discussion, hosted and moderated by Meryam Omi and Felix Preston.

👀 Green Central Banking on 'How to measure and mitigate financed emissions' ⚠ "Incomplete or unreliable emissions data is often cited as the main challenge in calculating financed emissions." 🔎 "Potential solutions to these challenges include regulatory change, harmonised and mandatory reporting standards, and the development of public databases and platforms for sharing emissions data, such as the Net-Zero Data Public Utility." 👉 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ec5q399u #climate #disclosure #nzdpu #netzero #regulation #sustainability #policy #carbonfootprint #climatedata #climatefinance

👀 We continue our FAQ series on data models. 1️⃣ A data model is a visual representation of data elements that exist in a database or information system and the connections between them. The purpose is to organize the set of data elements, illustrating the different types of data used and how they are stored and retrieved. 2️⃣ The first version of the NZDPU Core Data Model includes a foundational set of fields related to direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2 and Scope 3) GHG emissions, financed emissions, non-financial corporate GHG emissions reduction targets, and supporting metadata, recommended by the CDSC, which are significant for assessing the overall action of companies towards net-zero. ➕ The NZDPU Core Data Model aims to strengthen climate information architecture by structuring data in a standardized framework that focuses on highlighting calculation metadata, allowing for granularity and enhanced transparency of data, as well as the ability to identify significant data gaps. Calculation metadata, such as data on organizational boundaries, exclusions, and methodologies augment transparency around disclosed fields. It also allows for greater transparency around discrepancies in reporting due to the use of different reporting standards and frameworks. The NZDPU Core Data Model has been designed to be flexible and will be enhanced in response to new and updated climate disclosure standards and jurisdictional requirements.
