Emissions reductions that meet highest levels of environmental integrity, at an unprecedented scale.
Up to 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions are driven by land use changes - principally deforestation.
Tropical rainforests are the world's richest source of biodiversity - home to half of all the living animal and plant species on the planet.
1.5 billion people depend on forests for their livelihoods, including almost 70 million Indigenous Peoples.
Emergent is a non-profit that serves as a transaction platform 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 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
As a non-profit, our only financial focus is maximizing the sale of carbon credits to fund forest protection programmes.
