Enabling a world worth living in

Where nature thrives, economies are sustainable and communities are resilient and prosperous

Our Mission

We believe that Nature is our most valuable asset class and we are committed to realising its value. Our mission is to redirect the flow of private capital to protect and restore Nature at scale.

Our Strategy

Our strategy aims to bridge the significant Nature deficit by expanding the demand side and enhancing the supply of nature-based solutions. 

We see five key benefits from restoring Nature at a landscape scale: 

  1. Reduced flooding, 

  2. Reduced drought,

  3. Improved water quality, 

  4. Increased biodiversity and ecosystem health and, 

  5. Carbon sequestration. 

 

These five key benefits are paid for by the companies who benefit from them. By embracing Nature as a Service (NaaS), we target business challenges for companies facing specific localised Nature-related risks and opportunities, e.g. reduced flood risk to their assets, thereby unlocking wider opportunities for corporate investment in Nature.

The Opportunity

  • The UK needs £50-£100 billion in Nature restoration over the next decade. We see an opportunity to channel £5 trillion in UK pension assets towards impactful investments, with a '2% for Nature' allocation generating £50-£100 billion in assets to invest. In this context our goal is to build a +£10 billion fund over the next decade. 

  • From 1970 to 2019 the UK suffered over US$ 50 billion in losses from 84 disasters such as floods, droughts, storms and extreme heat (WMO)

  • Did you know? 53% is the average biodiversity that's left in the UK (Natural History Museum).

  • 97% of our wildflower meadows have been lost since the 1930s

  • Nearly 1 in 6 species (16.1%) are now threatened with extinction. (SON)

  • If all pollinators in the UK were to vanish, replacing the work of one bumblebee nest would require approximately 20 farmers and cost over £1.8 billion annually.

Who we are?

Rebalance Earth is a fund manager for a new asset class - Nature. We are launching the Rebalance Earth (UK) Nature Restoration Fund (RENRF) to protect and restore Nature at scale.

  • We do this by investing in a portfolio of landscape level investments via regional Special Purpose Vehicles ‘SPVs’,

  • Over the next decade, as we deliver projects at scale and demand for Nature Based Solutions ‘NBS’ grows, the fund will grow to over £10 billion.

What we believe?

  • “Believing in a world worth living in”: “We firmly believe in a world where nature thrives, economies are sustainable, and communities are resilient. Our every action is driven by this belief in a world worth living in.”

  • “Empowering sustainable change”: “Our call to action is empowering a sustainable change, lying at the heart of all our decisions and actions. We’re committed to leading the way, guiding investments that protect and restore our natural world.”
