751.Earth, Keynote Speech, House of Lords, London: 2026

Excerpt ''Our green infrastructure projects in Africa ‘create’ bankable assets. Our solar irrigation cooperatives generate revenue streams for community investors. Our sustainable agri-tech programmes create supply chains that international partners and corporates can anchor. Our climate-resilient water systems unlock land productivity that has direct commercial value. And across all of our GCF-aligned projects, the blended finance structure means that the public grant de-risks the private investment to a degree that commercial markets simply cannot replicate.

In plain terms: investing through CC Forum Foundation will give you access to projects that are de-risked by sovereign climate finance, aligned with the fastest growing markets on earth, and anchored in the most urgent human need of our generation.

That is not charity in the traditional sense. That is the most sophisticated impact investment architecture available anywhere in the world today. And the communities it serves are not passive recipients. They are partners, producers, and the engine of the return''.

Let me tell you what the portfolio looks like right now.

In Africa, we are developing GCF project pipelines in Kenya, Nigeria, Zambia, Ghana, and the DRC. South America, Brazil, Peru, and Jamaica, Climate-resilient water and food systems. Renewable energy access. Nature-based solutions that generate carbon credits with verifiable community benefit. Each project is anchored to a national GCF designated authority and to an accredited implementation entity. The governance infrastructure is there. The political will is there. What is needed now is the private capital to sit alongside the public grant and make it move at speed.

She continued stating that ''Millions of people are waiting for us, as they have waited with exceptional patience and dignity, waiting for us to initiate the changes to support Life on Earth''.

''Our choices! Ladies and Gentlemen will resonate for generations to come''
