Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations : Un groupe public au service de l'intérêt général et du développement économique

CDC Climat is a Caisse des Dépôts’s subsidiary set up in February 2010 to combat climate change by taking action in three areas:

1) It develops, either alone or with its partners, carbon market infrastructures: exchanges, registries and solutions for carbon assets trading and custody. On the strength of its experience in Europe, it supports the introduction of international, national and regional climate policies.

2) CDC Climat invests in carbon assets either directly or in the form of innovative funds open to long-term investors aimed at reducing CO₂ emissions by 25 Mt per year.

3) Its research team, CDC Climat Research, conducts independent, neutral analyses for public authorities, market players and the general public.
