What Rebalance Earth does

Rebalance Earth Ltd is a UK-based boutique private asset manager, founded in 2021 and headquartered in London, that structures nature-based infrastructure as an investible asset class for institutional capital. Its core offering is the Resilience Purchase Agreement (RPA), a long-term, inflation-linked, outcome-based service contract in which corporate counterparties with material water or climate-risk exposure (water utilities, food and beverage producers, insurers, real-estate and infrastructure owners, energy and industrial operators) pay for measurable physical risk reduction such as flood attenuation, water-quality improvement and biodiversity uplift. The firm complements RPAs with Verified UK Carbon Credits (from peatland, woodland and coastal restoration) and mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain units under the Environment Act 2021, which can be sold standalone or stacked against the same place-based project.

Underpinning the model is GPAP (Global Physical Asset Platform), a proprietary technology that fuses hydrology, topography, economic data and risk metrics to identify catchments and coastlines with high corporate exposure and to score their complexity for capital deployment. The firm manages the DARWIN Fund in partnership with Natural Capital, with a cornerstone £25m seed from West Yorkshire Pension Fund and stated ambitions to mobilise over £10bn into UK nature restoration over a decade. It monetises through outcome-based, multi-year contracted cashflows rather than commodity cycles, and operates as an FCA Appointed Representative of Carne International Financial Services (UK) Limited for arranging deals in investments and advising on investments.

Between late 2024 and early 2026 Rebalance Earth executed a sequence of strategic moves that materially extend its platform: a £1m RESTORE partnership funded by WYPF (October 2025), a strategic equity investment in Restored Land (November 2025), a multi-investor deal into Wilderway extending into Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Scotland (December 2025), a partnership with Great Yellow combining 300,000+ hectares of Defra-supported Landscape Recovery projects with a £1bn three-year mobilisation target (March 2026), and a co-published institutional-investor study with mallowstreet, BNP Paribas Asset Management and Foresight Group covering investors with more than £3trn in assets (February 2026).

Product overview

Rebalance Earth is a specialist Nature-based infrastructure investment platform that offers institutional investors exposure to productive Nature assets across the UK.

These products can be purchased standalone or stacked together against the same place-based project.
