Autodesk Collaborates with Carbon Disclosure Project for Sustainable Cities

Autodesk is collaborating with the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) on the CDP Cities program, which provides a standardized platform for cities worldwide to disclose their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other climate-related information.

The cities of tomorrow are being shaped, built, and managed by the governments, businesses, and citizens of today. To create more sustainable cities that support a better quality of life while minimizing environmental impact, today’s designers need a clear picture of the impact of climate change on cities.

CDP Cities

The first CDP Cities information request was successfully completed with over 40 cities participating from across the globe. Cities were asked to identify regulatory, physical, and financial risks and opportunities related to climate change in key areas such as land use, buildings, transportation, and energy.

Autodesk provided guidance in the creation of the questionnaire for cities. In addition, Autodesk is partnering with CDP Cites to bring the survey results and GHG emissions data to life with an interactive map.

See the survey results in the Global Report on C40 Cities, which highlights the opportunities and challenges that climate-change brings to cities around the world.
