Our guests on this episode are Rob Gardner and Eoin Murray, both previous guests on this podcast, join us again to discuss how they have come together at Rebalance Earth.
Rob is the CEO and CoFounder of Rebalance Earth, which redirects the flow of capital to protect and restore nature at scale. He was a guest on this podcast in 2021 when we discussed his Redington journey and again last year when we discussed his book EARN IT, KEEP IT, GROW IT. Eoin is the incoming CIO of Rebalance Earth, and was also a guest on this podcast in 2021. He was formerly Head of Investments at Federated Hermes International.
I have gathered Eoin and Rob together to discuss the future, outlook for Rebalance Earth, and we start by looking at the case for investing in nature and how instruments and markets have evolved to make this doable. We speak about the hydrology cycle, and how water, not carbon, lies at the heart of bio-diversity preservation as well as many of the risk factors facing companies whether from a shortage of water or an excess of it (flooding). We address the current zeitgeist, and the push back around net zero alliances and sustainable finance in general, and Rob and Eoin share some interesting perspectives.
