Do you mind explaining? So I was reading up on Project Gaia because I think that's an amazing example of of what kind of blended financing and how you can be what you were saying you know that kind of capitalist to not just spend the money that the fund has been able to raise but that you're also instigating more money to come in and help with this important work do you mind explaining that a little bit

So the 20 odd billion that we provided, when you add in the targeted co-financing, we should be getting to around just over 80 billion.

Amer BaigGUEST
We are pretty unique in how we operate because our capital and the way we structure our capital is completely flexible.
