GPAP is our map for a resilient future It looks a bit like Google Maps, but instead of showing traffic, it reveals where floods, droughts, and poor water quality pose the greatest risks across the UK, and where restoring Nature can have the biggest impact. From rivers to peatlands, coastlines to catchments, GPAP helps us see risk before it becomes damage, guiding investment to where it protects people, places, and portfolios. Data meets Nature. #NatureAsInfrastructure #WaterRisk #ResilienceThroughNature #SustainableFinance

With over £33 trillion of global value linked to Nature (World Economic Forum), Kana Earth has published Natural Capital: A Guide for Institutional Investors. This is a practical framework to help asset owners integrate Nature into portfolios. Natural capital is fast becoming a strategic allocation offering diversification, resilience, and measurable Nature-positive outcomes. We were really pleased to work with peers at Gresham House and Aberdeen to create this guide. Today, we joined LGPS asset owners and consultants to explore how to access and scale this opportunity. Further insights will follow at the Ecosystems Knowledge Network Nature Finance UK Conference in November. 📘 Read the guide: https://lnkd.in/gdxy7qrG

A new partnership to accelerate Nature restoration across the UK. We are pleased to announce our partnership with RESTORE - bringing institutional investments to ecological expertise to build a more resilient, Nature-positive economy. Our CEO, Robert Gardner said: “Benedict and his team bring unparalleled knowledge and practical skill to restoring ecosystems at scale. By partnering with RESTORE, we’re combining that expertise with our investment approach to help make the UK the fastest recovering Nature country in the world.” The partnership begins with a £1 million investment to fund large-scale restoration and unlock long-term value for people, planet, and portfolios.

For centuries, we’ve relied on Nature’s services for free; clean water, carbon storage, flood protection. But what isn’t paid for is often undervalued, and what’s undervalued is often lost. That’s starting to change. Payments for ecosystem services are creating a new way of recognising Nature as infrastructure generating returns for investors and resilience for society. On the Sofi Meets podcast, Rob Gardner explores how this shift is reshaping finance, using peatlands and their sphagnum moss as just one example. By putting a price on Nature’s work, we can finally unlock the capital needed to restore it. The question isn’t whether we can afford to pay for Nature. It’s whether we can afford not to.

Africa investor, led by Dr. Hubert Danso, spearheaded a landmark initiative to publish the G20 Nature Investment Roadmap 2.0. Rebalance Earth, along with Sustainable Markets Initiative, were proud to support this important work, which sets out a practical pathway for investors and sovereigns to allocate 2–5% of portfolios to Nature by 2026, scaling to 5–10% by 2030. With inaction projected to cost $80 trillion globally by 2050, including $6.5 trillion in Africa, the Roadmap positions Nature as infrastructure; essential to resilience, returns and fiduciary duty.

Rivers are the arteries of our landscapes, carrying life, shaping communities, and sustaining economies. On World Rivers Day, we’re reminded that healthy rivers mean resilient futures #WorldRiversDay #NatureFinance

Yesterday evening, in collaboration with Investment & Pensions Europe (IPE), we hosted the inaugural London Investors Tennis Open – a brilliant afternoon of rallies, rivalries and new connections on court. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made it such an enjoyable event. We’re already getting ready for the second event in January….see you on court! 🎾

Last week at our members’ meeting, we had the pleasure of hosting Robert Gardner, CEO and co-founder of Rebalance Earth. Rob shared insights into investing in nature as critical infrastructure, and how DC pensions can incorporate nature into their strategies.   Rebalance Earth is pioneering new funding models for ecosystem restoration, focusing on projects that mitigate risks, such as flooding and droughts, while providing essential services. Their approach aligns with the growing recognition that healthy ecosystems are integral to business resilience and long-term value creation.   🌳 To learn more about their innovative work, visit Rebalance Earth: https://lnkd.in/d8vhaid Louise Farrand David Whitehair

They may look like simple blocks, but Mother Reef bricks are the foundations of oyster reefs - natural infrastructure with measurable ecological and  economic value. Once seeded with oysters, these bricks make up oyster reefs which slow coastal erosion, shield communities from flooding, filter seawater, and restore marine biodiversity. In doing so, they reduce physical risks that threaten economies, supply chains, and coastal assets. For investors, this is portfolio resilience made visible. By allocating capital to Nature-based infrastructure, it’s possible to hedge against growing climate and water risks while unlocking long-term, uncorrelated returns.

We’re looking forward to the SG Pensions Enterprise DC Growth & Retirement Summit on Wednesday 1 October, where our CEO & Co-Founder Robert Gardner will be speaking. His session “Turning Your Savings into a Force of Nature” will explore how pension savings can drive long-term financial resilience and restore Nature at scale underpinning economic resilience. Pensions have the scale to shape both retirement outcomes and the future of our planet. We’re excited to be part of this important conversation. #NatureFinance #Pensions #RetirementSolutions #Resilience
