Climate Data Steering Committee Secretariat Associate - Fixed Term Contract
About the Climate Data Steering Committee (CDSC)
The Climate Data Steering Committee was established in June 2022 by French President Emmanuel Macron and UN Special Envoy Michael Bloomberg to improve access to global climate transition data. The CDSC, which brings together leaders from diverse jurisdictions and international organizations, aims to accelerate and build a broadly accessible foundation of high-quality climate data essential for supporting capital allocation to the net-zero transition.
The CDSC has outlined a blueprint for developing a Net-Zero Data Public Utility (NZDPU), a global, centralized, open repository for private sector climate transition data, available to all stakeholders to facilitate investments in low- or zero-carbon initiatives. The CDSC oversees the development of the NZDPU and works to standardize and enhance the availability of core corporate-level climate data.
