The NorcalMLK Foundation has partnered with ECHo Impact Fund in the Bay Area Public Forum featuring Roman Catholic Cardinal Peter Turkson.
At the center of this forum is a powerful idea: with tens of thousands of facilities across Africa, the Catholic Church is now positioned to anchor one of the largest coordinated and scalable climate-aligned investment platforms in the world. In partnership with the State of California, ECHo, and the Bay Area Council, this network is being mobilized to aggregate demand across a full spectrum of solutions — including clean energy, healthcare, mobility, digital infrastructure, and agriculture — creating a platform for large-scale, investable deployment.
Beginning with distributed renewable energy systems that replace diesel generation, reduce emissions, and deliver reliable, lower-cost power, this forum is where Bay Area government, environmental, and business communities — large and small — engage early in shaping what comes next.
For anyone interested in how the Bay Area connects to one of the most consequential global shifts on climate, capital, and community — this is the conversation.
