CDP secures Walmart Foundation grant to drive nature-positive landscape solutions
Summary
Since 2020, CDP has integrated these strategies into its corporate disclosure, building the worlds largest dataset on landscape and jurisdictional approaches to enhance transparency and accelerate action.Funding from the Walmart Foundation will allow CDP to capture and analyze new, decision-critical data on corporate and government engagement with landscape initiatives, identify opportunities for driving investment, and broaden understanding of how Landscape and Jurisdictional Approaches can accelerate tangible environmental progress while protecting biodiversity-rich ecosystems.

With the Walmart Foundations support, we can accelerate adoption, enhance reporting, and empower businesses, investors, and governments to take meaningful, large-scale action to combat deforestation, restore ecosystems, and build a nature-positive future.For more information, please contact Samika Meshram-Jasinski: samika.meshram@cdp.netCDP is a global non-profit that runs the worlds only independent environmental disclosure system.
