Rebalance Earth

Rebalance Earth is a United Kingdom based natural capital investment company that operates in the field of environmental finance.[1] It develops financial structures related to ecosystem services, biodiversity, and land and water management, and works with institutional investors and landholders.[2]

History

Rebalance Earth was founded in the early 2020s in the United Kingdom.[3] The company was established amid growing interest in incorporating environmental assets and ecosystem services into financial and investment frameworks.[4][5] In its early years, the company focused on developing methods for measuring and monetising ecosystem services, including carbon storage, water regulation, and biodiversity conservation.[6][7] Its activities included pilot projects and research related to environmental monitoring and valuation.[8][9]

Rebalance Earth developed investment structures based on what it described as “nature-based infrastructure,” including wetlands, river catchments, and coastal ecosystems.[10][11] These projects were designed to generate revenue through long-term contracts linked to environmental outcomes. During the mid-2020s, the company received minority investment from institutional sources, including the West Yorkshire Pension Fund.[12] This investment supported the creation of dedicated natural capital portfolios.[13][14]
