National carbon certification benchmark

The aim of this operation is therefore to develop and test this innovative mechanism to certify emission reductions achieved through the establishment of a forest carbon project, and to generate carbon units that can be sold by the project promoter to entities wishing to participate in the national emission reduction effort for the agricultural and forestry sectors. This certification mechanism does not exist at present. Similar initiatives have been developed in other countries, but none covers both agricultural and forestry fields and does not include all the types of projects we want to test and develop. The objective of the project is therefore to remove the various existing barriers to the implementation of climate change mitigation projects in the forest sector in France.
