Project Manager – Carbon certification and Forestry and woodJulia 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”.

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.
