Fact Sheet

Office of the Spokesperson

November 2, 2021

At COP26 during the World Leaders Summit’s Forest Day session on November 2, 2021, the United States launched the Forest Investor Club.  This network of leading public and private financial institutions and other investors aims to unlock and scale up investments that support sustainable, climate-aligned outcomes in the land sector. These financial institutions and Network Partners are committed to increasing the scale and geographic scope of investment in restoration, conservation, sustainable agriculture and forestry, and green infrastructure.

The land use sector contributes nearly one quarter of global emissions. Reducing emissions from deforestation, ecosystems conversion, and other land sector activities – enhancing and expanding their carbon sequestration potential – are critical steps to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

Despite their potential for delivering the mitigation needed to avoid catastrophic climate change, there is chronic underinvestment in conservation, restoration, and other sustainable land sector activities.The Forest Investor Club will accelerate the pace, increase the scale, and expand the scope of forest and nature investment by identifying and facilitating access to a pipeline of investments in forests and nature, collaborating under complementary partnerships to unlock investment opportunities, and working to develop solutions to investment barriers and bottlenecks.

The Founding Members of the Forest Investor Club include: Apple, BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group, Conservation International, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, Deutsche Bank, Finnfund, Goldman Sachs, Hancock Natural Resource Group (a Manulife Investment Management Company), Lombard Odier, Mirova, New Forests, Norfund, Pollination, SAIL Ventures, The Nature Conservancy, in collaboration with Network Partners, including Convergence Blended Finance and the Natural Capital Investment Alliance.

#### Charles Sherron LILES v. Mary Frances LILES.

Civ. 2124.

Court of Civil Appeals of Alabama.

Feb. 13, 1980.

Michael F. Bolin, of Hanes, Hanes & Bo-lin, Birmingham, for appellant.

J. H. McEniry, III, of McEniry, McEniry & McEniry, Bessemer, for appellee.

WRIGHT, Presiding Judge.

After hearing, appellant was ordered committed to a mental institution by judgment of the Probate Court of Jefferson County. He has brought an appeal from that judgment to this court under § 22-52-15, Code of Alabama (1975) as amended by Act No. 670, Acts of the Legislature, Regular Session, 1977.

> As pertinent, the statute is as follows: § 22-52-15. Appeals. An appeal from an order of the probate court granting a petition seeking to commit a person to the custody of the Alabama state department of mental health . . . lies to the circuit court for trial de novo *unless the probate judge who granted the peti*
>       *909
>       *tion was learned in the law, in which case the appeal lies to the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals on the record.*(Emphasis added.)

Appellant has brought his appeal here directly from probate court under the statute because the judge who heard the case and entered judgment was learned in the law. The only issue stated by appellant is that the statute under which he appeals denies him equal protection because it prevents him from appealing to circuit court for a trial de novo. He does not allege any error committed by the trial court. He presents a constitutional issue here for the first time.

This is an appellate court with authority to review or supervise the acts and orders of courts of original jurisdiction. The issue presented to us is original and not appellate. Our appellate courts do not consider issues, constitutional or otherwise, which were not first raised in a trial • court. *McGugin v. McGugin,*357 So.2d 347 (Ala.Civ.App.1978); *Caylor v. Caylor,*344 So.2d 173 (Ala.Civ.App.1977).

For failure to charge error in the trial or judgment below, that judgment must be affirmed on appeal.

AFFIRMED.

                Proclamation 8403 of August 26, 2009

                
Death of Senator Edward M. Kennedy

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Senator Edward M. Kennedy was not only one of the 
                greatest senators of our time, but one of the most 
                accomplished Americans ever to serve our democracy. 
                Over the past half-century, nearly every major piece of 
                legislation that has advanced the civil rights, health, 
                and economic well-being of the American people bore his 
                name and resulted from his efforts. With his passing, 
                an important chapter in our American story has come to 
                an end.

                As a mark of respect for the memory of Senator Edward 
                M. Kennedy, I hereby order, by the authority vested in 
                me by the Constitution and laws of the United States of 
                America, that the flag of the United States shall be 
                flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all 
                public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and 
                naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal 
                Government in the District of Columbia and throughout 
                the United States and its Territories and possessions 
                until sunset on August 30, 2009. I also direct that the 
                flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff 
                until sunset on the day of his interment. I further 
                direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for 
                the same periods at all United States embassies, 
                legations, consular offices, and other facilities 
                abroad, including all military facilities and naval 
                vessels and stations.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twenty-sixth day of August, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and thirty-fourth.

#### BROWN v. INTERSTATE LIFE & ACCIDENT INSURANCE COMPANY.

Hall, Judge.

The plaintiff brought this action as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy issued to her son, and assigns error on the judgment of the trial court sustaining the defendant insurer’s general demurrer to her petition. The petition alleged that on August 27, 1963, the insured made application and paid to the insurer’s agent the weekly premium on the policy, which was 22/; that on August 30, 1963, the insurer’s agent delivered the policy to the insured and collected a second weekly premium; that on September 1, 1963, the insured received injuries in an automobile accident rendering him unconscious, and on September 3, 1963, he died from these injuries. The policy stated “Date of issue 9/2/63” and provided “No obligation is assumed by the Company prior to the date hereof. This policy shall not take effect if the Insured is not alive, free from bodily injury and in good health on the date hereof. This Policy contains the entire agreement between the Company and all parties at interest; . . .” *Held:*

When a policy provides that the insurer is not bound or does not assume any obligation unless at the date thereof the insured is alive and in good or sound health, such a provision is a valid condition precedent to liability on the part of the in*553surer, and there can be no recovery on the policy where it appears that the insured was not in sound health at the date thereof. *Boswell v. Gulf Life Ins. Co.,*197 Ga. 269, 273 (29 SE2d 71); 44 CJS 992, § 237.

Argued March 3, 1965

Decided April 13, 1965.

*L. D. Skaggs,*for plaintiff in error.

In the absence of allegations to show that the premiums were received and applied by the insurer to cover a date prior to that stated in the policy as the date of commencement, as in *Progressive Fire Ins. Co. v. Brinson,*88 Ga. App. 498, 500 (76 SE2d 807) (see 12 Appleman, Insurance Law and Practice, 1964 Supp. 56, § 7172), or that the insurer was in some way estopped from asserting non-liability or had waived the condition that the policy should not take effect if on its date the insured was not free from bodily injury and in good health, the petition did not state a cause of action. *Boswell v. Gulf Life Ins. Co.,*197 Ga. 269, supra; *Strickland, v. Gulf Life Ins. Co.,*70 Ga. App. 365 (28 SE2d 314); *Fowler v. Liberty Nat. Ins. Co.,*73 Ga. App. 765 (38 SE2d 60); accord *Pilgrim Health &c. Ins. Co. v. Milledge,*107 Ga. App. 77 (129 SE2d 80); see *Life & Cas. Ins. Co. of Tenn. v. Williams,*200 Ga. 273 (36 SE2d 753, 161 ALR 686); 44 CJS 1105, § 276. The holding in Division 2 of *Life & Cas. Ins. Co. of Tenn. v. Palmer,*48 Ga. App. 380, 381 (172 SE 823), appears not to be in accord with the decision in *Boswell v. Gulf Life Ins. Co.,*supra, and is not controlling.

The trial court did not err in sustaining the defendant’s demurrer.

*Judgment affirmed.*

*Bell, P. J., and Frankum, J., concur.*
