CLIMATE RESILIENT SOLUTIONS LIMITED

What CLIMATE RESILIENT SOLUTIONS LIMITED does

Climate Resilient Solutions Limited is a research-led climate consultancy operating through a flexible network of researchers, practitioners, and domain experts assembled bespoke for each engagement. The company is led by Founder and Director Dr. Bali Lee and is headquartered in London with operational presence in Pakistan via partner Reality Beyond Dreams. It runs three flagship initiatives: Carbon at Risk (an independent research framework quantifying probability of large losses and expected arrival of permanence risks in carbon storage, initiated 2023), Glacier Marriage (an indigenous-led climate adaptation research and documentary project in the Himalayas, launched 2024), and The Permanence Trust (an endowment-fund-model institution for managing carbon non-permanence risk, launched 2026 in partnership with the American Forest Foundation and Kita).

The company's core technology centers on quantitative risk-modeling methodologies and bespoke stakeholder-alignment frameworks, rather than a scalable software platform. Service offerings span stakeholder mapping and working-group design, framework and methodology development, research and implementation (including go-to-market strategy, pilots, and workshops), and communications ranging from academic papers to feature-length documentaries. Academic collaborators from University of Exeter, LSE Grantham Institute, and Aberystwyth University contribute quantitative risk modeling, portfolio-level risk research, and glaciology expertise respectively.

The business model is professional services: bespoke, multi-year, quote-based project engagements with organizations, funders, and research teams. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with no publicly disclosed pricing or self-serve channel. Customer segments include carbon market participants (insurers, project developers, academics), climate research institutions and funders, and indigenous-led climate organizations. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investors or external funding.

Direct peers

• South Pole Group: South Pole is a large climate consultancy developing frameworks, advisory services, and carbon project portfolios for corporates and funders - directly parallel to CRS's stakeholder engagement, framework development, and implementation services.
• Climate Advisers: Climate Advisers is a research-led climate strategy and policy consultancy working with funders and policymakers on decarbonization - comparable to CRS's research-and-implementation service line and academic-network delivery model.
• Sylvera: Sylvera provides independent ratings and analytics for carbon credits, directly overlapping with CRS's Carbon at Risk framework for quantifying carbon storage risk. Both target insurers, project developers, and corporate buyers with scientific carbon quality data.
• Watershed: Watershed provides a software platform for corporate carbon accounting and climate strategy, sharing CRS's target buyers (corporates needing climate risk data) and competing for the same climate consulting wallet.
• Renoster: Renoster provides independent ratings and remote-sensing-based verification of nature-based carbon projects, directly comparable to Carbon at Risk's permanence quantification work and overlapping customer base of project developers and credit buyers.
• BeZero Carbon: BeZero offers independent carbon credit ratings and risk analytics, addressing exactly the permanence risk space where Carbon at Risk and The Permanence Trust compete. Comparable in serving project developers, investors, and policy makers with carbon risk data.

Emerging players

• Trove Research: Trove Research provides climate finance data and carbon credit analytics, sharing CRS's permanence-risk quantification focus and competing for similar investor and project developer mandates.
• Persefoni: Persefoni offers a climate management and accounting platform that competes for corporate carbon and climate risk consulting spend. Similar buyer base (corporates, financial institutions) but more productized software model versus CRS's bespoke research engagement model.

Others

• Kita Carbon: Kita is a named strategic partner on The Permanence Trust. It builds high-integrity nature-based carbon projects and trading infrastructure, making it a co-developer and adjacent peer rather than a direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• ERM (Environmental Resources Management): ERM is a major global environmental and climate consultancy offering climate risk advisory, ESG strategy, and decarbonization services across sectors. Represents a broader incumbent alternative for corporates that might otherwise hire a boutique like CRS.
