2 GDF SUEZ supports World Bank & Global Compact in advocating for a global carbon price Carbon Pricing is the tool of choice for effective & cost-efficient global mitigation at scale. Smart combination of policies allows addressing country specific development needs. Developing countries must focus on social inclusion, efficiency and clean expansion. Global cooperation is key to ensure preventive mitigation and avoid high costs today and in future. Smart policy design attracts investment, ensures recognition of early action and efficient risk management. Building on existing mechanisms must ensure smooth evolution towards a global market. 2

Our operational companies have a strong national identity and benefit from regional support and coordination. Two thirds of our portfolio is renewable and we have a strong track record with the implementation of non conventional renewable energies such as wind, biomass and solar generation.

9 The uneven challenge to limit Climate Change to 2 C WHAT DO WE NEED TO BRIDGE THE GAP? Source: IEA 2011 World Energy Outlook. Non-OECD countries account for 90% of population and energy demand growth and require huge investments in infrastructure and mitigation Energy causes 66% of global GHGs & non-oecd account for 100% of growth; The 450 (ppm) scenario requires additional investments of $11.6 trillion; GHG intensive thermal expansion is still the baseline and leads to a technological lock-in which is capable to close the door to 450 ppm. 9

12 How to use existing tools & minimize cost According to Economic Theory each market failure requires a specific instrument. Quantify external cost and benefits Pricing external costs & benefits Inefficient Capital Markets Lack of enabling environment Sound MRV for GHG emissions and emission reductions ensure global comparability CDM & NMM are globally coherent steps to build an international carbon market. Development Banks & Green Climate Fund can bridge financial barriers. NAMA policies with international support need to improve clean investment environment Lack of access to technology and organizational knowledge CTCN and bilateral organizations are available to support host countries on request 12

15 GDF SUEZ innovative capital market instruments To support its ambitious development strategy in renewable energies and energy efficiency, GDF SUEZ issued a Green Bond of 2.5 billion. The bond was 3-times oversubscribed and very successful with [French, German and UK] institutional investors. The strong demand came from investors focused on environmental and socially responsible investing (SRI) who bought 64% of the issue

16 GDF SUEZ Green Bond: main characteristics Commitment on Use of Proceeds GDF SUEZ Green bond will finance projects that contribute to fight climate change Selected projects are not linked to energy production from fossil fuels or nuclear sources (this is one of the criteria set to select projects) Renewable Energy Projects Renewable energy projects Acquisitions in Renewable Energies Energy Efficiency Projects Investments to reduce energy consumption per unit of output Acquisitions in Energy Efficiency Transparency & External validation Criteria set to select projects developed and validated by GDF SUEZ s auditors report on Green bond proceeds allocation Reporting on Green projects financed with the Green Bond proceeds with environmental indicators Standard Financial Characteristics A GDF SUEZ credit risk and rating Bonds will be launched off the Euro Medium Term Notes (EMTN) program A benchmark size providing liquidity to investors

18 Conclusions and suggestions for discussion Problem: Capital Intensity and long term maturity of clean infrastructure is the biggest barrier to green growth and a risk to our climate. Urgency: Early action needed to avoid fossil fuel lock-in. Solution: Transformational change now, requires global cooperation and use of existing mechanisms to address all market failures at once. Role of the CDM to leverage climate finance and NAMAS: Offer comparable & solid MRV & flexible mechanism, i) in support of national policies (NAMA, etc.) ii) in complement to Carbon Financing (RBF) iii) for domestic offsetting and indirect linking between countries to ensure transformational investments and a move towards an incrementally global carbon market. Important CDM reforms and elements of the ADP text: 1) Recognize KP mechanisms & results under the future climate agreement. 2) Open access to & promote early action by all parties, IMO & ICAO. 3) Reduce costs & bureaucracy to attract use by developing countries. 4) Establish due tracking and accounting of units. 18
