Mobilising Private Capital to Fund Nature Restoration

Rebalance Earth provides an innovative investment model that channels private capital into nature restoration projects. The company bridges the gap between institutional investors, businesses, project developers, and local communities, creating a scalable and sustainable funding mechanism for ecosystem recovery.
Their model connects businesses that can benefit from ecosystem restoration with institutional investors that can fund projects upfront for a fixed return. Businesses then benefit from outcomes such as secure supply chains, flood defence and enhanced biodiversity, while investors gain a guaranteed return from investing in nature.
Rebalance Earth ensures projects deliver measurable outcomes for biodiversity and ecosystem resilience through internal models conducted by their Head of Science, as well as partnerships with specialist project developers. Their first investment, to be announced shortly, is expected to demonstrate the impact of Nature-based solutions within the next 12 months and pave the way for a broader portfolio of projects across different ecosystems.
Looking ahead, Rebalance Earth aims to deploy £1 billion into nature restoration within five years, making investment in nature mainstream through demonstrating that nature can be a driver of both financial performance and resilience for businesses and investors.
