I4CE offers subscribers some reflection clubs that meet regularly to discuss issues related to climate and the environment. They are led by members of the Institute.

Today, carbon has a real value thanks to the emergence of various national and international markets set up following the Kyoto Protocol. However, the forestry and wood sector is only slightly affected by these incentives, mainly through the use of wood energy. The objective of the Carbon Forest and Wood Club is to share knowledge on the technical and economic means to develop and enhance the role of the forestry and wood sector in the fight against climate change. It aims in particular to enable companies and local authorities to access the carbon markets through the French forestry and wood sector. This club is led by Julia GRIMAULT, Project Manager – Agriculture and Forestry at I4CE.

AGRICULTURE AND FOOD CLIMATE CLUB
The agricultural sector is certainly a source of GHG emissions, but it also has a strong mitigation potential that is still under-exploited. It is also one of the sectors most impacted by climate change and must therefore implement a number of changes to adapt to it.
This club is presented by Claudine FOUCHEROT, Program Director Agriculture and Forestry at I4CE.
