Research Fellow – Carbon Farming, Carbon markets, Agriculture and Forest Climate ClubsClothilde runs the Climate Clubs on Agriculture and Forestry: two forums of expertise in which public and private actors share their knowledge and experience on science, policies and economics related to climate change. In this context, she works mainly on carbon certification and voluntary carbon markets.
Before joining I4CE, she worked as an intern for an agribusiness company, at the French Embassy in Madrid and in the non-profit sector in Brazil. In addition, she works as a writer.

European certification framework: a high-quality outline that does not guarantee the value of the final picture
The European co-legislators have just reached an agreement on the content of the future European Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF). Negotiations were swift and fruitful, against a backdrop of a general step back in the adoption of the various Green Deal texts. While today sees environmental issues played off against farmer's livelihoods, this draft regulation brings these two elements together to create the conditions for investment in the transition of agriculture and forestry sectors. However, several details still need to be clarified to ensure that this framework actually enables effective and ambitious climate financing. -

Carbon sinks: is France’s ambition realistic?
The French National Low-Carbon Strategy (SNBC) aims at doubling the volume of CO2 removals thanks to the contribution of the forest-based sector, the agricultural sector and the geological carbon capture and storage technologies. The projections concerning these compartments and the underlying technical assumptions have been explored and compared to the existing literature in an in-depth analysis, with the goal of clarifying the challenges and conditions for this massive increase in carbon removals. The conclusions are that far-reaching changes are required in the different sectors and that some objectives for the forest-based sector may be impossible to achieve. -

Understanding deforestation processes in Brazil to avoid the tipping point
The fires in the Amazon have put the challenge of deforestation back on the political and media agenda, responsible for about 11% of global greenhouse gas emissions (IPCC, 2014). I4CE’s Clothilde Tronquet discusses the causes of deforestation and measures that could slow it down and avoid reaching a point of no return. -

COP22 in Marrakech: a push for accelerated action by 2018
Adopted in 2015 at COP21, the Paris Agreement defines ambitious objectives to orient countries towards developing low-carbon and climate-resilient economies, shifting to a carbon-neutral global economy before the end of the century. It establishes a multilateral cooperation framework governed on the basis of both national and voluntary contributions of States and the initiatives of non-State actors. Yet, […] -

DEVELOPMENT AND OUTLOOK FOR AGRICULTURE IN INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE NEGOCIATIONS
By Clothilde TRONQUET, Claudine FOUCHEROT Agriculture has a specific role to play in current and future climate change. This carbon-intensive sector, which is responsible for 13.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, is also highly exposed to the impacts of climate change, including a downward trend and increasing variability in yields. Yet agriculture’s capacity to adapt […]
