Preserving earth’s biodiversity
The highest integrity emissions reduction. At an unprecedented scale.
Emergent is a non-profit intermediary acting between tropical forest countries and the private sector—creating a new marketplace in large-scale transactions of high-integrity carbon credits at the jurisdictional level. We have a historic opportunity to bend the climate curve, if we make forests worth more alive.
“We will not overcome the climate emergency without safeguarding our planet’s lungs. Halting deforestation and restoring degraded forests are global imperatives.”
António Guterres Secretary-General of the United Nations
The LEAF Coalition has mobilized $1 billion USD for countries and states committed to increasing ambition to protect tropical and sub-tropical forests and reduce deforestation during the World Leaders Summit on November 2nd as part of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26).
Protecting tropical forests at scale provides the single best opportunity to slow and ultimately halt climate change.
Emergent only sells credits issued under TREES – The REDD+ Environmental Excellence Standard – which sets a new benchmark for uncompromising environmental & social integrity, while reflecting the true value and cost of protecting forests.
As a non-profit, our only financial focus is maximizing the sale of carbon credits to fund forest protection programmes.
