Julia GRIMAULT

Project Manager – Carbon certification and Forestry and wood

Julia works as project manager on the contribution of forests to climate change mitigation.

 

She joined the team in 2014 to take over the coordination of the “Carbon Forest and Wood Club”, which brings together public and private decision-makers and academic research with the objective of sharing knowledge on technical means and economic incentives to strengthen the role of the forest-based sector in climate change mitigation.

 

She has also worked on forest carbon accounting and carbon certification mechanisms (monitoring, reporting, verification), especially through the coordination of the VOCAL project forest pillar and the contribution to the creation of the French “Low-Carbon Standard”.

 

Before joining I4CE, Julia worked at the General Direction for Energy and Climate of the Ministry of Ecological and Solidarity Transition on forest carbon accounting under the Kyoto Protocol.

 

She has graduated from management school (Audencia) and also holds a master’s degree in geography (territorial policies and sustainable development), where she has focused on agricultural and forestry issues.

    International Day of Forests: carbon certification, adaptation and carbon sink

    This week, for the International Day of Forests, I4CE offers you an overview of the forestry issues that are being debated in France and in Brussels. In our newsletter, you will discover a new blog post by Julia Grimault on European carbon certification and our latest analyses on the adaptation of French forests to climate change, the French carbon sink and the wood industry.

    OP-ED – European Carbon Certification: the unlikely alliance

    The future European carbon certification framework is under intense debate. The first meeting of the expert group in charge of supporting the Commission has raised criticisms on the composition and mandate of this group, and the discussions have taken an unexpected turn by achieving the feat of bringing NGOs and CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) industrialists to an agreement against natural carbon sinks, those of our forests or our agricultural soils. Where does this unlikely alliance come from?

    Recommendations for the European Carbon Certification Framework

    To achieve the climate goals of the UE, The European Commission wants to create a carbon certification framework to encourage carbon storage in the land sector. The challenge is to develop a common and harmonised framework at the European level by better relying on the expertise acquired through existing certification frameworks. With this study, I4CE propose 7 recommendations, inspired by both our concrete experience with the French Label Bas-Carbone to which we have contributed, and by 15 years of research on carbon certification.
