About Laurent Fouinat
Laurent Fouinat
Senior Expert, Polar and Climate
Phone: +47 900 49 909

Mountain regions are sensitive to climate change, bridging science and action to confront the climate crisis with clarity and resolve.

As a Senior Expert in Climate at GRID-Arendal, I bring nearly two decades of experience in environmental policy, strategic advisory, and international cooperation to our collective mission of addressing the climate emergency. My work is grounded in a deep understanding of how science, governance, and community engagement intersect to enable transformative change.

What I Bring

With a background in Sciences, my career spans roles in research, the United Nations and NGO's where I’ve designed and implemented climate resilience strategies and supported the integration of environmental considerations into development planning. At GRID-Arendal, I apply this global perspective to catalyse local action and foster policy innovation.

My Focus Areas

  • Collaborative Facilitation & Transformative Engagement
  • Leadership in Governance & Policy Shaping
  • Catalytic Knowledge & Insight Generation

In My Own Words

″The climate crisis is the major global issue of this century and demands concerted efforts, new policies, and strong decisions to safeguard our future. I strongly believe in the power of collaboration and science-based decision-making to shape a sustainable way of life for future generations.″
