I4CE is a non-profit research organization that provides independent policy analysis on climate change mitigation and adaptation. I4CE promotes climate policies that are effective, efficient and socially-fair. 40 experts engage with national and local governments, the European Union, international financial institutions, civil society organizations and the media. For many years, I4CE has been developing expertise in carbon certification for agricultural and forestry projects, expertise that has led to the adoption of the Label Bas Carbone in France. Today I4CE is contributing to the development of a European certification framework that is both ambitious and pragmatic, through its active participation in several European projects that provide food for thought, and through its involvement in the expert group assisting the Commission in drafting the methodologies.
