Key qualifications:
Eric Laitat is a forest engineer and holds a PhD in environmental policy. He has over 30 years
of professional experience in environment in over 40 countries worldwide (see
201611141529). He works both in French and English, in teams and networks in
multicultural contexts, with international donors, public sector, education, NGOs and
economic operators. Its key expertises concentrate on pilot projects, result oriented
strategic actions, project planning for better environmental management focused on
energy efficiency and climate adaptation/mitigation, technical assistance, capacity
building, awareness raising and reduction of the ecological footprint.
He was elected five times as chair of Action COST E21 (December 1999 - October 2004) – a
network of 140 research institutions from 20 countries (see 201307130803) – and was
mandated as ‘delegate’ to International negotiations on sustainable development,
biodiversity and climate change, in order to determine the potential of forests for
atmospheric carbon sequestration implemented under the Kyoto Protocol.
Eric Laitat is skilled in project management. He lead over 20 years research projects in
academia for environmental protection on competitive bids (> € 500,000 of annual budget)
and did evaluation of LIFE+ Environment project over 10 years (see 201305290752-FR).
This represents in-depth analysis of over 450 project proposals, submitted to DG Environment
of the European Commission by administrations, associations and industry, which were duly
reported on both technical / financial feasibility and environmental added value taking into
account qualitative and quantitative award criteria.
He is now freelancer since over 15 years. His scientific background, his experience in the EC
and its work with international donors (see e.g. under section 13. Professional experience:
Agreco, Tunisia, 08.10-11.10, Egis-Eau, Tunisia, 10.13-06.14 et AESA, Morocco, 03.15-12.15,
CCM-CG, Algéria, 07-17-…) the World Bank (see 20140807), FAO, GEF, AFD (see
201209070269), give him a mastery of logical framework and project cycle management.
Since 2001, his family project consist in design and management of holiday resorts in a
pedagogical pilot farm for an awareness raising to the environment and lower ecological
footprint, conservation of biological diversity, organic farming, wastewater treatment and
low-energy construction in a ancient farm building dating back 1751 (presently a building at
15 kWatt/m2). This holiday resort is dedicated to eco- and green tourism in Wallonia (http:
/www.energite.be). The facility was rewarded three times with labels and distinctions in
sustainability, construction (Confédération Construction Wallonne) and energy (Energy
Awards and Piment de la Région Wallonne).
Eric Laitat has a very good knowledge of the institutional and administrative context of the
European Commission as a Detached National Expert at DG Joint Research Centre, in
international climate negotiations, guidelines, trends and practices in sustainable
development, environmental management and energy policies, in particular energy
efficiency in buildings and industry. He worked in Belgium, Europe, Tunisia, Morocco,
Algeria and Djibouti (see MWH Global 20160502000), but also in less developed countries
such as Mali, Burkina Faso and Senegal.
Its main areas of expertise are pilot programmes/projects, strategic actions frameworks
and planning, participatory projects with the civil society, for development and better
environmental management. The projects concentrate on: Reduced ecological footprint,
technical assistance, capacity building, awareness raising, pollution control (water, air,
soil), waste management and sanitation, energy and climate, building and eco buildings,
ecoconstruction, architecture, urban- and spatial planning, coastal zone management are at

stake. Several sensitive and rare ecosystems were also tackled such as coastal oasis in
Gabes, the complex ecosystem of Bizerte in Tunisia and a vegetable farm zone involving 80
farmers in a desert and torrid climate in Djibouti.
Finally, Eric LAITAT's professional experience at the service of the Administrations represents
more than 5,000 pages of minutes, reports and reports to support the decision for the
European Commission, the Federal Public Service and the Walloon Region (Belgian
Administrations) and more than 3,000 pages of reports from international missions (see 14
