Cécile Edorh is an environmental consultant with experience in international public service on chemicals (European Commission REACH Regulation in 2023) and circular economy (responsible for the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ eponymous resolution at the 6th United Nations Environment Assembly in 2024).
She has developed a solid understanding of political dynamics at European and international levels, working on the revision of the Classification, Labeling and Packaging (CLP) regulation and the Cosmetics Regulation.
She continues to closely follow European legislative and diplomatic developments, with a particular interest in chemicals (REACH revision) and waste management (International Legally Binding Instrument negotiations on plastic pollution, BRS Convention, etc.), particularly in an island context (monitoring marine waste within Team Europe, volunteering to support the Zero Waste project at UNEP Caribbean, etc.).
She holds a Master’s degree in Management from emlyon business school and a Master’s degree in International Law from the University of Paris Panthéon Assas (Paris 2).
Used to explaining her legal expertise to a variety of stakeholders (since European chemicals legislation operates through a three-way collaboration between lawyers, chemists and economists), Cécile leads various workshops and training sessions for participants from a range of backgrounds in the language required. She is fluent in French and English, and has a basic understanding of German and Spanish.
In addition to her consulting work, Cécile is involved in moderating conferences and managing events (Climate Chance Association’s 2025 and 2026 Summits). She believes this is the ideal setting to develop advocacy that listens to stakeholders (institutional actors, CSOs, businesses, and academia) and works toward a just transition.
