Powering a Systemic Solution to Tropical Deforestation
Emergent mobilizes large-scale climate finance to support government-led programs that reduce deforestation across entire countries and regions.
​
As a non-profit, our goal is to maximize the scale and impact of forest finance, ensuring benefits reach the communities who depend on and protect forests.
​
As we build a private sector market to support Jurisdictional REDD+ (JREDD+) programs, philanthropy retains a vital and catalytic role to accelerate progress.
A Critical Window for Action

We have a critical window to accelerate JREDD+ to provide the finance needed to halt and reverse tropical deforestation by 2030.

Without this, the world will not stay on track to meet global climate and nature targets, including the Paris Agreement.
Strategic Opportunities
We invite philanthropic foundations, family trusts, climate collaboratives, and impact-driven investors to partner with Emergent to help accelerate our mission to halt deforestation with a focus on three critical priorities:
1
Accelerate Progress in Southeast Asia
Support LEAF's expansion in one of the world’s most critical forest regions.
​
Southeast Asia is home to one of the world's three great forest basins and is a priority region for scaling finance to tackle deforestation.​​​​
2
Halt Deforestation in Brazil by 2030
Brazil holds 60% of the Amazon and is pivotal to meeting global climate goals.
Sustaining recent progress requires scaling JREDD+, strengthening inclusion and unlocking private sector demand.
​
3
Amplify Global Voices for Forest Protection
Support Indigenous Peoples, Local and Afrodescendant Communities to shape global action.
​
Funding storytelling, media, and convening helps elevate critical perspectives and strengthen the effectiveness and equity of forest protection efforts.​
The Catalytic Role of Philanthropy:
A message from our CEO
Eron Bloomgarden
CEO and Founder
Emergent
“Forest carbon markets provide one of the most powerful mechanisms to deliver large-scale climate and nature ambitions. Through the LEAF Coalition, we’ve proven that high-integrity Jurisdictional REDD+ can unlock significant finance, drive measurable emissions reductions, and ensure frontline communities are at the heart of forest protection.
​
Philanthropy has a unique opportunity to accelerate this progress - by strengthening equity, scaling government readiness, and unlocking the finance needed for forest countries to end deforestation, protect nature and deliver lasting benefits for their people.”
