New Alliances, New Momentum: Investing in Sustainability | Global Conference 2026
Leslie Kaufman, His Excellency Majid Al Suwaidi, Raphael Arndt, Régine Clément, Peter Seligmann, Frederick Teo, Fred, Regine, Majid
GenZero, Sylvania, Creo, Future Fund, and Altera convened to address the shift from post-2008 financial stability to an era of geopolitical instability and AI-driven capital competition that demands a pivot from risk mitigation to organizational resilience. Panelists advocated reframing investment theses toward economic pragmatism, suggesting strategic capital allocation to fusion energy, nature-based assets, and local regenerative projects while utilizing AI for deep risk analysis rather than mere efficiency. The discussion concluded that long-term value creation requires depoliticized language focusing on energy security and adaptation, alongside private-sector leadership in scaling solutions that deliver both ecological protection and financial returns in an environment of "unknowable uncertainty."

Established as the world's largest climate-focused private fund, Altera has committed an initial $6.5 billion deployment to mobilize $250 billion in capital for the Global South alongside strategic partners Brookfield, TPG, and BlackRock. This initiative follows the landmark COP28 conference, which shifted climate diplomacy to a pragmatic, private-sector-integrated model under the political leadership of UAE officials. Fund Director Majid Al-Sawadi now leverages his diplomatic background to accelerate clean energy infrastructure, specifically targeting the energy demands of AI and industrial decarbonization in emerging markets.

Energy Transition: Critical Minerals, Climate Tech, & Policy Shifts | Middle East and Africa Summit
John Defterios, His Excellency Majid Al Suwaidi, Lucie Berger, Frank Fannon, Oskar Lewnowski, Bob Wilt, Majid Al Suwaidi
Launched by the UAE, the $30 billion Alira Initiative seeks to mobilize $250 billion in private capital by 2030 to bridge the investment gap in the Global South, where 85% of current transition funding flows to the North. The program targets critical bottlenecks in the energy supply chain, specifically addressing the decade-long permitting delays and geopolitical concentration of critical minerals that currently hinder gigafactory development. By combining a de-risked investment structure with a focus on modernizing the mining sector's public image, the initiative aims to secure a resilient, technology-driven future for clean energy while challenging the dominance of existing supply chains.
