Job description

Overview

Emergent is a global non-profit that aims to mobilize public-private finance to conserve and restore the world’s forests as a critical solution to the climate crisis. We serve as an intermediary between the private sector and forest nations, acting as a market catalyst to deliver transformational impact for the climate, biodiversity, and Indigenous Peoples and local communities. Emergent purchases high-integrity carbon credits from ‘jurisdictional’ – national or subnational – REDD+ forest protection and reforestation programs that are verified to the ART TREES standard. We then sell these credits via the LEAF Coalition to corporate buyers and donor governments looking to drive significant impact and meet their climate and nature goals. We are also working with forest nations to issue and market credits for compliance programs such as CORSIA and various national carbon tax plans. The LEAF Coalition is a unique public private partnership focused on halting tropical deforestation by 2030. By bringing together forest governments, the private sector, donor governments, Indigenous Peoples and local communities and civil society, LEAF aims to raise and deploy the finance needed to tackle deforestation by making tropical forests worth more alive than dead.

We have a historic opportunity to bend the climate curve – if we act now. If you are passionate about climate change and believe in preserving and protecting forests, please read on.
