Muller - Fonte: Instituto CarbonoBrasil Em seu décimo relatório, o CDP questionou mais de 4,7 mil das maiores empresas mundiais, incluindo as 500 maiores companhias públicas parte do FTSE Global Equity Index Series (Global 500), buscando informações sobre as ações efetivas em direção a uma economia de baixo carbono, muito além da simples divulgação de seus números. As maiores empresas do mundo demonstraram que as mudanças climáticas continuam na agenda corporativa, exigindo atenção e alocação de recursos adequados mesmo antes de qualquer exigência legal e em meio a crise econômica, demonstrou o CDP 2010. Este ano a taxa de resposta das empresas do Global 500 continuou alta, em 82% (410 empresas), o que segundo o relatório, escrito pela consultoria PricewaterhouseCoopers, é impressionante dada a crise econômica e o clima de incertezas políticas.
A qualidade das informações relatadas pelas empresas também mostrou uma melhora significativa. Brasil.

The forest carbon market is now two decades old but the bulk of its 20-million-tonne contribution to carbon sequestration and emissions reduction has come in the last three years - despite the global financial crisis and recession. This picture emerges from the ‘State of the Forest Carbon Markets’ report released by Ecosystem Marketplace (ESM) this week. Its landmark report appears the best attempt yet at a comprehensive estimate of the volumes and value in the forest carbon sector worldwide.
The organisation says its doesn’t claim to have accounted for every forest carbon transaction but has surveyed widely in the market. It found 226 projects past and present covering 2.1 million hectares in 40 countries involving 61 project developers and 34 intermediaries. Looking to the future, the study says there is uncertainty over the growth path ahead as participants await political developments that could see vast new markets emerge dwarfing anything up to now.
