Make your Nature Investments viable.

Move from Carbon Data to Nature Intelligence.

Nature-based Solutions can deliver up to 37% of global CO2 mitigation required by 2030 to limit warming to 2°C.

The growing risk to business value chains that depend on nature’s assets, has necessitated a shift towards natural capital investments that ensure healthy nature flows for long-term returns.

To reduce emissions of carbon and other greenhouse gases on a pathway that does not overshoot and keeps global average temperature increase to below the 1.5 °C target stipulated by the Paris Agreement, it shall be necessary to rely on nature-based solutions with atmospheric removals.

The economy is a wholly owned subsidiary of the environment, not the reverse. There is something fundamentally wrong in treating the Earth as if it were a business in liquidation.

Accurate Measurements for Project Integrity

Science-led mapping and measurement are key to robust design and implementation of nature projects to ensure long-term financial results. Assessing risk, projecting returns and verifying outcomes of such projects requires robust climate and ecological science.

Satellite Imagery helps
Nature in Measurements

Viable investments must be rooted in robust evidence. Building such evidence requires extensive landscape and ground level data gathering and analysis, supported by geospatial modelling, field-level research and measurements.

Understanding measurements:
Technology and Processes

High accuracy data collection is key to the success of a nature investment. From satellite imagery to soil carbon data, to machine learning, an investor can, with a high degree of accuracy, base their investments on various layers of data.
