Until 2019, as Director of Sustainable Development and Environment of the EDF Group, a world leader in low-carbon energy, Claude Nahon was responsible for promoting environmental and societal issues within the Group and dialogue with stakeholders.

A graduate of the École Polytechnique, Claude Nahon joined the EDF Group in 1978, where she held various management positions in the generation, transmission and distribution sectors. In particular, she was the Director of hydraulic and renewable energy production and managed the Boutre-Carros project, a 400kV line in the South East of France, which was the occasion of the first public debate for EDF.

Committed to the ecological transition in France and in the world, Claude Nahon is now retired and strives to defend these issues within various bodies.

Claude has been supporting IDDRI since its creation and is a former Member of IDDRI’s Board of Directors.
