In early 2025, BII launched a £100 million mobilisation facility to unlock private capital for climate projects across emerging and developing economies.

From a competitive pool of 27 proposals, BlueOrchard was selected as one of the winners. Leslie highlights the innovative fund structure that enables UK insurance capital to flow into emerging markets at scale, overcoming long-standing regulatory barriers.
This partnership will help expand access to clean energy and sustainable infrastructure while demonstrating how blended finance can deliver real, scalable climate impact.
