Capital Initiatives

We work with partners in global industry, finance and government using market intelligence on the repricing of planetary resilience to create innovative investment partnerships that transform pressing environmental challenges and planetary risks into actionable, market-driven solutions that support resilience, regeneration and long-term value.

Featured Initiatives

A resilience capital initiative for coastal adaptation

Building a multi-asset class portfolio of nature and resilience investments in the blue economy to support capital re-allocation at scale.

Nature infrastructure on the balance sheet

British International Investments (former CDC Group) asked Earth Security to assess the economic value that the restoration of mangroves by one of their investments - Zephyr Power Limited (ZPL) in Pakistan – could provide to the business as a nature-based climate solution.

A transition blueprint for resilience commodities

Cocoa and coffee value chains are being reshaped by climate impacts, ecological degradation and structurally misaligned economics, as smallholder producers across the main sourcing regions for coffee and cocoa are stuck in a cycle of poverty, climate-induced impact, and demographic change.

A sovereign framework tracking environmental risk

Launched in 2013, the Earth Security Index introduced a groundbreaking data framework designed to equip investors with a clear understanding of the strategic risks and opportunities emerging from the transgression of planetary boundaries.

A bond instrument for water & peace

In 2018, Earth Security was commissioned by the Swiss Development Agency’s Global Water Programme to develop a practical and investable pathway for global capital markets to contribute to the global agenda of transboundary water cooperation. The objective was to align private finance with the Swiss Government’s Blue Peace Initiative, a flagship diplomatic effort to support water cooperation in high water risk regions such as the Middle East and North Africa, Central Asia, and South Asia.

Bridging cross-border energy infrastructure investments

In 2015, Earth Security was invited by the BMW Foundation to design and facilitate a strategic dialogue in Poland. The initiative convened energy stakeholders from Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, and the European Union—including energy and infrastructure companies, financial institutions, and policy experts—to explore shared interests in energy security as a foundation for regional cooperation.

Catalyzing an investment vehicle for natural infrastructure

Over the past year, we have partnered with the Bogotá Water Fund (Fondo de Agua de Bogotá Región, Corporación Agua Somos) to turn our research on cloud forest assets into action, identifying and mobilising investment opportunities to support high-Andean páramos as vital water infrastructure. In the run up to the COP16 Biodiversity Summit in Colombia, we are introducing a new investment theme aimed at creating impactful opportunities for private investors.

Financing sustainable rice for a secure future

How Earth Security paved the way for a global rice fund exceeding $500 million.

Investing in mangroves for coastal resilience

Boosting the city’s nature-based coastal resilience through an eco-tourism model.

Pioneering nature-based insurance products

In 2017, we partnered with the Philippine Insurers and Reinsurers Association (PIRA), to explore how NbS could be incorporated into the industry’s climate resilience strategy. We are delighted to share that PIRA is now moving forward to pilot three mangrove insurance products - a general product for SMEs, one for infrastructure, and another for agriculture - all to be made available in 2025.
