About the Climate Data Steering Committee (CDSC)

The CDSC was established in June 2022 by French President Emmanuel Macron and UN Special Envoy Michael Bloomberg to improve access to global climate transition data. It brings together leaders from various jurisdictions and international organizations to accelerate the development of high-quality climate data, supporting the allocation of capital to the net-zero transition.

The CDSC has proposed a Net-Zero Data Public Utility (NZDPU), a global, open repository for climate transition data, to enhance standardization and accessibility of corporate climate disclosures.

• Coordinate the annual schedule of CDSC meetings, prepare and circulate materials, and record and communicate decisions effectively.
• Assist the Chair and leaders by preparing briefings for meetings, engagements, and policy issues.
• Maintain knowledge of policy and technical issues in climate data and disclosures, and communicate insights to the team.
• Build relationships across institutions and jurisdictions to support the CDSC’s work and partnerships.

Expectations

• 1-3 years’ experience in climate data, finance, or related policy, with a strong desire to deepen understanding.
• Willingness to learn about governance structures and stakeholder engagement norms.
• Strong analytical, research, and briefing skills.
• Excellent organizational skills for managing projects and timelines.
