Agroforestry
Integrating native and naturalized tree species within productive lands to boost climate adaptation, sequester carbon and lower the footprint of agricultural crops.
Bregal Sphere Nature will seek to invest in high-quality nature-based carbon removal projects that help restore natural ecosystems, combat climate change and biodiversity loss, and support local livelihoods.
Our vision is to unlock the value of nature for people, investors and the planet through high-impact, high-integrity carbon finance.
By investing in projects within and adjacent to agricultural supply chains, Bregal Sphere Nature aims to create more sustainable and resilient agricultural production systems that benefit people and the planet.
Integrating native and naturalized tree species within productive lands to boost climate adaptation, sequester carbon and lower the footprint of agricultural crops.
Planting native tree species to recover degraded ecosystems, support biodiversity improvement and ecological resilience.
Preserving and rehabilitating carbon-dense mangrove ecosystems which provide unique habitat for aquatic species.
Why invest in Nature?
Over half of global gross domestic product depends on the healthy functioning of nature and the essential services that it provides, including food and water security, which underpin human health and economic prosperity.[[1]]
The climate crisis is straining these systems, and as the global population grows and the demand for resources increases, we will become even more dependent on nature – currently a diminishing and undervalued resource.
We believe that investing in nature today represents a generational investment opportunity, in which private capital can play a pivotal role.
The Role of Private Capital
Nature as an asset class has been historically overlooked. In 2023, private capital contributed to only 18% of financial flows directed towards nature, in a sector still largely dominated by public finance and philanthropy.[[2]]
The emerging natural capital sector now recognises the value of this new asset class and the untapped opportunity it represents for investors, businesses and the planet. We believe that private investment can drive high levels of innovation in this space, with the development of digital technology solutions for forestry, agriculture and land-use enabling new business models and cost efficiencies that were not available only a decade ago. Private capital has a foundational role in helping scale and deploy these impactful new business models.
