LEAF Coalition is an innovative brand dedicated to tackling deforestation and promoting sustainable futures. Recognizing that halting tropical deforestation is crucial for addressing the climate crisis, LEAF aims to reverse the lack of economic incentives for protecting and restoring forests. LEAF mobilizes public and private sector finance through forward purchase commitments, rewarding forest governments for reducing deforestation.

By fostering a market for high-integrity forest carbon credits, LEAF generates financial benefits for tropical forest governments and indigenous communities dependent on these forests. To ensure real and additional impact on the ground, LEAF adopts a jurisdictional approach. This approach involves working directly with governments, supporting ambitious programs that address the root causes of deforestation.

It includes policies, legislation, active participation of indigenous peoples, financial incentives to landowners, and enforcement of laws against illegal deforestation. LEAF's commitment to environmental and social integrity is reflected in its strict buyers' criteria and its purchase of forest carbon credits that comply with The REDD+ Environmental Excellence Standard. This standard ensures the highest levels of environmental and social safeguards, including the rights and participation of indigenous peoples and local communities.

Additionally, LEAF reinvests the proceeds from the sale of credits into sustainable development initiatives, further improving the lives of people in tropical forest countries.
