About Emergent

Emergent is a global non-profit that mobilizes public and private finance to conserve and restore the world’s forests to combat the climate crisis. We act as a catalyst between forest governments and participants of the LEAF Coalition—a groundbreaking public-private partnership committed to halting tropical deforestation by 2030. By uniting private sector buyers, donor governments, forest governments, Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs), and civil society, LEAF aims to raise and deploy the finance needed to tackle deforestation by making tropical forests worth more alive than dead.

About our talent pools

Capacity needs often come in three main areas:

• Commercial: This team creates and manages the pipeline of public and private sector buyers to develop Emergent’s market for high-integrity credits and maximize the volumes at which we sell.
• Partnerships: This team drives strategic and inclusive stakeholder relationships, including striking deals with the forest governments that supply us with credits and ensuring local stakeholders benefit.
• Operations: Specialist and cross-organisational support grouped in sub-teams: marketing, finance, strategy, HR, or law.
