The Africa Sovereign Carbon Registry Foundation is proud to welcome Mrs. Corinne Lepage as a Strategic Advisor.
Former French Minister of the Environment and Member of the European Parliament (2009‑2014), Mrs. Lepage has dedicated her career to protecting the environment and strengthening environmental responsibility. She played a key role in promoting the Polluter-Pays principle since the Kyoto Protocol and shaping the EU ETS.
Well‑known for defending the victims of the Amoco Cadiz (1978) and Erika (1999) oil spills, she also championed major environmental laws in France and contributed to the creation of the Committee for Prevention and Precaution.
