### Dataset Summary

We introduce an expert-annotated dataset for identifying climate-related paragraphs about climate commitments and actions in corporate disclosures.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

The text in the dataset is in English.

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

```
{
  'text': '− Scope 3: Optional scope that includes indirect emissions associated with the goods and services supply chain produced outside the organization. Included are emissions from the transport of products from our logistics centres to stores (downstream) performed by external logistics operators (air, land and sea transport) as well as the emissions associated with electricity consumption in franchise stores.',
  'label': 0
}
```

### Data Fields
