The #LEAFCoalition kicked off London Climate Action Week on Monday, June 24th with a panel event hosted by Salesforce and jointly organized by Natural Climate Solutions Alliance, Emergent and the UK government on the role of high-integrity forest carbon credits in supporting corporate climate and nature strategies.

Ahead of Oslo Tropical Forest Forum last week, the Emergent team were delighted to convene a fruitful day of meetings between LEAF participants, chaired by Norway’s Minister of Climate and Environment, Andreas Bjelland Eriksen and featuring Senior Advisor to the United States President for International Climate Policy John Podesta. Forest Government and Indigenous representatives from across Costa Rica, Ghana, Nepal, Pará and Acre plus the UK government and LEAF corporate participant PwC explored the evolution of the #LEAFCoalition focusing on scaling and sustaining long-term incentives for forest conservation, enhancing participation of Indigenous Peoples and local communities, and exchanging valuable lessons learned from the pioneering forest countries that are the first to sign agreements with LEAF.   Emergent is grateful for the high-level commitment from across LEAF Coalition participants and partners, and the insightful dialogues which will inform and strengthen the future of the Coalition. Special thanks to our colleagues at NICFI - Norway's International Climate and Forest Initiative for hosting this pivotal meeting and to all of the forest government representatives that generously shared their experiences. We are excited about future collaborations across the LEAF community. #LEAF #Sustainability #ForestConservation

"A huge part of the solution is collective action [...] If we come together, for example as the LEAF coalition, we can work together to reduce risks and scale actions, it's a no brainer" Adele Cheli of GSK alongside Tim Christophersen of Salesforce kick off #LCAW2024 explaining the importance of corporate investment in the #VCM to help develop a high-integrity market.

Reversing deforestation is one of the most impactful things we can do to fight climate change and limit global warming to 1.5°C.   In their recent article for World Economic Forum, Fred Krupp, President of Environmental Defense Fund, Jennifer Morris, CEO of The Nature Conservancy, and M Sanjayan, CEO of Conservation International provide "3 reasons for companies to embrace forest carbon markets in 2024".   The authors note major progress towards integrity, quality and impact, highlighting the Architecture for REDD+ Transactions (ART) as an example of a new methodology that has raised the ceiling for impact.    Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/emmMrmV7
