A breakthrough in forest protection
The highest integrity emissions reduction. At an unprecedented scale.
Providing access to the highest integrity credits
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
Emergent announces launch of the LEAF Coalition – (Lowering Emissions by Accelerating Forest finance).
An ambitious new public-private initiative designed to accelerate climate action by providing results-based finance to countries committed to protecting their tropical forests. This initiative aims to mobilize at least $1 billion in financing, kicking off what is expected to become one of the largest ever public-private efforts to help protect tropical forests.

Protecting tropical forests at scale provides the single best opportunity to slow and ultimately halt climate change.
Emergent only sells credits issued under the 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.
