cdp’s nigel topping: data drives climate action in cities

tue, 02 aug 2011 12:00:59 +0000

the carbon disclosure project collects and discloses greenhouse gas emissions data from thousands of organizations around the world, data that can then be used to develop reporting standards and enhance climate-related actions.

in july, c40 released a report developed in partnership with cdp that offered the first-ever public disclosure and analysis of self-reported ghg emissions data from c40 cities.

in this interview, nigel topping, chief innovation officer for cdp, discusses the opportunities for the c40 in relation to measuring carbon emissions. with 72% of the c40’s 58 member cities reporting in the first year of the analysis, topping is optimistic that in subsequent years all of the c40 cities will be able to join in disclosing emissions data to both capture the scope of the issue and to act.

“that rich set of data,” topping says, “can inspire learning and innovation.”

china’s future carbon emissions will rule our collective futures

thu, 21 jan 2010 00:40:58 +0000

future carbon emissions will not come primarily from the currently industrialized world, but from the emerging economies, especially china. future green house gas emissions from the developing economies in asia will totally swamp reductions achieved at significant economic sacrifice in the west. in recent copenhagen climate debates, china, which currently emits 30% more co2 per year than the u.s., has not promised to cut actual emissions.

80% cuts in u.s. emissions will have only a tiny benefit. the bulk of our effort is best directed at helping the emerging economies conserve energy and move rapidly toward efficient solar, wind and nuclear power. developing cheap carbon capture and sequestration is also a priority. above all, we need to recognize that make-the-west-bear-the-burden copenhagen proposals are meaningless and completely ineffective.

professor richard muller of uc berkeley has prepared an important analysis that should be brought to the awareness of decision makers. information regarding how crucial the new developing economies in asia are to averting climate catastrophe has been compiled into an article by professor muller which can be found at:
