Equity Investment
CPRSX devoted 13 years to develop the CPRSX Climate Change Action Plan™ and 7 years to form hundreds of JV partnerships with a variety of Filipino Indigenous communities, landowners and rural farmers This effort culminated in unfettered local and national government support.
It was clear to all of us even in 2007 that there is a shrinking window of opportunity to remedy the climate crisis. Average global temperature are currently estimated to be 1.1°C above pre-industrial times. It is likely that we will cross the 1.5°C threshold within the next two decades and 2°C threshold early during the second half of this century. Limiting global warming to 1.5°C is only narrowly possible subject to astute investment decisions during the coming years. The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is a critical element of the Paris Agreement and it is the world’s largest climate fund, mandated to support developing countries.
CPRSX made submissions to the Green Climate Fund which operates through a network of over 200 Accredited Entities and climate funding delivery partners which include international and national commercial banks, multilateral, regional and national development finance institutions, equity funds institutions, United Nations agencies and civil society organisations. This open partnership enables the GCF to foster unprecedented coalitions between private investors, development agencies and civil society organisations to achieve transformative change and harmonisation of standards, policies and practices.
Some CPRSX submissions are directed to European and Asian Sovereign Funds and banks. We have reached Stage 2 of the assessment processes, which is an impressive outcome. To achieve this status CPRSX prepared well by presenting our plans and projects to Provincial and Municipal Governors, Mayors, Universities, President Aquino, President Duterte’s Presidential Management team, Provincial Parliaments, National Commission on Indigenous Peoples, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Department of Agriculture, Energy Regulation Authority, Climate Change Commission, Barangay leaders, Pastors and community leaders.
CPRSX also conducted incalculable training and Information sessions throughout the Philippines Provinces, pursuant to the International Principals of Free and Prior Informed Consent. We achieved 100% approval, endorsements and support. There has never been an objector or detractor for CPRSX’s plans and projects.
We also travelled to the Netherlands, Hungary, Canada, North America, South Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore to form strategically aligned collaborations, partnerships and agreements. The partnerships assisted CPRSX to meet every criterion for passing Stage 1 of the Grants and Funding Assessment processes, following which the WWF fund manager said our submission was the best he has seen.
Climate change offers businesses an unprecedented chance to capitalise on new growth and investment opportunities that can protect the planet as well. GCF employs part of its funds to help mobilise financial flows from the private sector to compelling and profitable climate-smart investment opportunities, and we are pleased to have achieved this level of recognition.
A range of financing instruments
GCF can structure its financial support through a flexible combination of grants, concessional debt, guarantees or equity instruments to leverage blended finance and crowd-in private investment for climate action. This flexibility enables the GCF to pilot new financial structures. No matter the financial mix CPRSX expects to obtain we are certain that we should become a publicly listed company thereafter.
