Nature as an Asset Class: The Landbanking Group joins Climate Collective

We are proud to welcome The Landbanking Group (TLG) to the Climate Collective!

Economic growth shouldn’t come at the expense of our planet. Yet, the share of natural capital per person (the proportion of natural resources available that provide us with water, clean air, food, etc., as well as plants and animals) has plummeted by nearly 40% since 1992. That’s where The Landbanking Group steps in — protecting nature AND making it investable.

Founded by Dr. Sonja Stuchtey and Prof. Dr. Martin R. Stuchtey in 2022, TLG is pioneering a new asset class: Nature Equity that shifts land use incentives towards nature positive practices. This approach allows companies to invest in the regeneration and preservation of natural capital, while rewarding land stewards for responsible practices.

“In the future, degradation and collapse of ecosystems will determine business value, more than capital markets will.”- Sonya Stuchtey

How does The Landbanking Group stand out?

🤝 Linking nature to capital: Using cutting edge tech TLG measures the health of soil, water, carbon, and biodiversity on a land plot to quantify improvements in nature capital. TLG then translates these improvements into tradable assets, creating a market for the positive environmental impact that land stewards create.

⏭️Redefining economic value: TLG is restructuring the pathway to economic growth, allowing anyone who prioritizes ecological health to invest in natural capital. For businesses, this mitigates risk, ensures ESG compliance, and builds brand value by investing in nature’s regeneration.

☘️ First-of-a-kind platform: Anchored in asset market principles and tech integration, TLG’s Landler.io platform offers a comprehensive assessment of natural capital to monitor, manage, and invest in nature. Their innovative approach has the potential to revolutionize planetary-scale nature regeneration.
