We’re excited to announce that Pará has become the first state in Brazil to secure finance from the #LEAFCoalition to support its efforts to reduce #deforestation. This landmark LEAF Coalition agreement with Pará, worth an estimated $180 million, highlights #ClimateLeadership from Pará’s government and demonstrates the potential of LEAF’s public-private approach to bring vital finance to forest states and communities.

? This week, the Emergent team attended #AviationCarbon 2024, a leading industry event bringing together airlines, regulators, and carbon market stakeholders to explore the role of sustainable aviation fuels and #CarbonCredits in meeting aviation's #decarbonization goals, including compliance with #CORSIA. ?? With global aviation gearing up to meet CORSIA’s Phase 1 obligations starting in 2027, the demand for high-integrity carbon credits is rapidly growing. Emergent’s work with countries supplying Jurisdictional REDD+ (#JREDD) credits provides access to scalable, cost-effective #CarbonFinance solutions that meet airline #compliance and #sustainability needs. ???Our key takeaways from the event: - Demand is mobilizing:?The demand market for CORSIA is beginning to scale as airlines seek to secure supply volumes - JREDD is compelling:?Jurisdictional credits are a strong asset class for compliance due to high levels of political buy-in and protection against localized supply risks - Long-term partnerships matter:?Reliable partners are needed to secure CORSIA access for your future compliance needs - Simplification is key:?Efficient, streamlined solutions are needed to navigate CORSIA compliance with limited resources ???We are currently?working to build a pipeline of CORSIA eligible credits and expect to make further announcements in the coming months.

?? Week 2 of COP29 Azerbaijan brought a spotlight on transformative solutions for #climate, #nature, and sustainable development. Here’s a summary of our second week: ?? Land Use: Transforming Land and Ecosystem for a Nature-Positive 2030: Andreas Dahl-J?rgensen, Director of NICFI - Norway's International Climate and Forest Initiative, a donor government participant of the #LEAFCoalition, joined a discussion hosted by Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action (MPGCA) on transforming land use and ecosystems. The session focused on aligning global ambitions with practical strategies for a nature-positive future. ?? Regenerative Agriculture and Carbon in Latin America: Challenges and Opportunities for Climate Action: Emergent ’s Chief Partnerships Officer Sean Frisby contributed to a compelling discussion on scaling regenerative agriculture and carbon solutions in Latin America. This session emphasized integrating science, practice, and market-based mechanisms to tackle #ClimateChange while promoting sustainable agricultural practices across the region. Thanks to LEAF Coalition participant Bayer for organizing the event. ?? Nature on the Balance Sheet: Rocio Sanz Cortes, Emergent's Executive Vice President of Global Origination, joined an esteemed panel at the Japan Pavilion to discuss?how policy makers, business, and academia can work together to accelerate the pathway for resetting our economic system in harmony with nature. ?? Advancing High-Integrity #CarbonMarkets for climate, nature and people: The U.S. State Department, Emergent and the LEAF Coalition held a panel event at the U.S. Center Pavilion to mark Nature and Biodiversity, Indigenous People, Gender, Oceans and Coastal Zones Day. Against the backdrop of increasing global attention on the role of #forests in mitigating climate change, the panel brought together voices from across the sector including LEAF Coalition participants, Ecuadorian government representatives, Ecuadorian Afro-descendants and civil society. The session emphasized the urgent need to align climate finance mechanisms with social justice, equity, and inclusion for Indigenous Peoples, Local Communities (IP&LCs), and Afro-descendant groups. ?? New LEAF Call for Proposals: The LEAF Coalition also announced a new call for proposals, extending opportunities for forest governments to supply emissions reductions with corresponding adjustments for corporate compliance. This expansion strengthens the path toward nature-positive climate finance at scale. ?? Our second week in Baku showcased powerful collaborations driving solutions at the nexus of #climate, #nature, and community. As we look ahead to COP30 in Belém, our focus remains on scaling public-private finance to maximise impact for the protection of our forests, their biodiversity and the communities that depend on and protect them. #COP29 #CarbonMarkets #SustainableDevelopment

Investing in nature is investing in our future. As we reach the final days of COP29 negotiations, governments must recognize nature’s critical role in #ClimateAction.

There is no #climate solution without #nature. Read the full statement here: https://lnkd.in/eHHhj-bK Nature4Climate #WithNature #Mission2025 #ProtectWhatWeLove

The whole Emergent team was delighted to hear today that The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) has approved the Architecture for REDD+ Transactions (ART) TREES methodology, making it one of first three standards for nature-based credits to be eligible for the Core Carbon Principles label. Welcoming the news, our CEO and Founder Eron Bloomgarden said: "Jurisdictional REDD+ programs set the standard for high-integrity carbon credits, and ICVCM’s decision is a powerful validation of their quality. We’ve already seen private sector leaders with bold climate goals committing to buy these credits through the #LEAFCoalition. This vote of confidence is poised to amplify demand, unlocking even more funding to empower forest nations in their fight against tropical?#deforestation." #CarbonMarkets #ClimateAction #JREDD
