About GaiaSicura Ltd
GaiaSicura Ltd is building the world’s first nature-centric insurance brokerage dedicated to securing a future for nature. Our mission is to help to create net-positive outcomes for all stakeholders involved in nature restoration by structuring risk-transfer solutions that enable regeneration, protect environmental value, and unlock capital across the nature economy.
We advise and place insurance for project developers, investors, and intermediaries active in:
o Carbon and biodiversity credit markets
o Nature-based infrastructure and co-benefit alignment
o Restoration-linked financial instruments
o Environmental performance and resilience insurance
The opportunity is urgent and global. Regulatory and voluntary frameworks - from the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) to Science Based Targets for Nature - are accelerating demand for transparent, insurable performance in the nature economy. Mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain in the UK, evolving offset regimes globally, and the race toward Net Zero by 2050 are putting natural capital at the heart of policy and capital flows. Investors, corporates, and insurers increasingly recognise that without structured risk transfer, nature-positive finance cannot scale. GS operates at this nexus, translating environmental exposure into formats the global insurance market can price, structure, and deploy capacity against.
Please send applications to enquiries@gaiasicura.com we look forward to discussing your candidacy.
