About NZDPU
The NZDPU’s mission is to provide a trusted, central source of company-level climate data that is transparent and openly accessible to all.
Developed on the Recommendations of the Climate Data Steering Committee
In June 2022, French President Emmanuel Macron and the United Nations Special Envoy for Climate Ambition and Solutions Michael R. Bloomberg founded the Climate Data Steering Committee (CDSC). The CDSC - see current members - brings together an unparalleled group of global leaders including international organizations, standard setters, and policy makers from a broad set of jurisdictions to help address climate data challenges across the global economy.
The CDSC aims to support the climate objectives of the UN and accelerate climate action by helping drive forward global momentum for the private sector to report and disclose key climate data critical to delivering a net-zero economy.
In November 2022, the CDSC published recommendations for the development of a unified, global, open climate data repository: the Net-Zero Data Public Utility (NZDPU). The NZDPU is designed to be integrated with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change's Non-State Actor Zone for Climate Action.
The CDSC oversees the NZDPU’s ongoing and iterative development and will consider further recommendations for enhancements going forward.
Providing the Data and Transparency to Facilitate Decision-Making
A Team of Experts
Core Team
The NZDPU core team is composed of experts from the climate data, product development, and engineering fields.
Technical Advisory Board Members:
A Technical Advisory Board (TAB or Advisory Board) was formed to consult on the technical development of the NZDPU. The Advisory Board will provide regular feedback to the NZDPU on the NZDPU’s implementation of the CDSC’s recommendations and will provide advice to the NZDPU on the technical feasibility of any additional guidance/recommendations issued by the CDSC.
