Eron Bloomgarden: The Era of Free Emissions Is Over
Eron's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eron-bloomgarden-4406183/
In this episode, Troy Carter sits down with Eron Bloomgarden, founder and CEO of Emergent—the organization behind the LEAF Coalition and one of the leading voices in global climate finance.
Eron shares his journey from the early days of carbon markets to designing multi-billion-dollar initiatives that protect forests and accelerate corporate climate action. Together, they unpack how we can move beyond fragmented efforts and build a social movement around one simple truth:
“Every ton should be paid for.”
This conversation explores:
The creation of the LEAF Coalition and its vision for large-scale forest protection.
How carbon markets evolved—and what they must become next.
Why climate finance needs cultural momentum, not just capital.
The role of companies, governments, and investors in ending the era of free pollution.
What it takes to turn climate conviction into real, coordinated demand.
Eron’s message is both clear and urgent: to protect what remains and restore what’s been lost, pollution can no longer be free.
