10.2. <strong>Montréal</strong> and sustainable development<br />

• A joint venture between the <strong>Montréal</strong> Exchange and the Chicago Climate Exchange, the <strong>Montréal</strong> Climate<br />

Exchange (MCeX) is a powerful tool in the fight against climate change. It provides a low-cost, marketbased<br />

solution to help companies and all those involved address serious environmental challenges and<br />

encourages companies to further reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The mission of MCeX is to<br />

provide a transparent and credible marketplace where contracts on pollutant and GHG emissions are<br />

exchanged.<br />

• <strong>Montréal</strong> is the first city in the French-speaking world to receive official designation from the United<br />

Nations University as a Regional Centre of Expertise (RCE) on Education for Sustainable Development. The<br />

designation was announced at the 8th <strong>Montréal</strong> conference on environmental education.<br />
