One Commonwealth Summit. One opportunity to change how the Commonwealth delivers results. At Wolfson College, University of Oxford, I shared my vision for a Commonwealth that turns ambition into action by connecting countries with investors, unlocking climate finance and creating opportunities for millions of young people. With more than US$30 billion in potential investment projects and bold new initiatives for climate action and youth empowerment, we are building partnerships to deliver investment and prosperity for our 2.7 billion people. #CHOGM2026 will be the turning point. Our moment is here.

What would it take to turn ambition into action? @rudra_81 on @orfonline: or-f.org/40803
