An observation of the standard-model value of the trilinear Higgs self-coupling with a significance of 5$\sigma$ or above can only be done at HE-LHC (33~TeV), CLIC (3~TeV) or VHE-LHC (100~TeV), with projected precisions of 15\%, 10 to 16\%, and 5\%, respectively. It would take a factor three more luminosity for the ILC to reach a precision similar to CLIC. Such an ambitious luminosity upgrade, which includes both a longer running~\cite{Snowmass} and a vigorous accelerator upgrade programme~\cite{1308.3726}, has been brought forward shortly after the appearance of the ILC TDR, in which such an option had been descoped to allow for important cost reduction. As it could only happen after a first run at $\sqrt{s} = 1$~TeV with baseline luminosity, this upgrade cannot take place before 2045-2050 in the most optimistic assumptions, i.e., in parallel with the start of the VHE-LHC. Since deviations in the HHH coupling arising from new physics effects is expected to be smaller than $\pm 20\%$ with respect to the standard model prediction~\cite{cite:1305.6397}, such new physics effects can only be probed at the VHE-LHC.   It is worth mentioning that the ILC luminosity upgrade, for which a cost estimate is not available, could also be exploited for another five-years run includes several years of running  at $\sqrt{s}=$ 500 GeV and yet another five-years run several years of running  at $\sqrt{s}=$ 250 GeV with luminosities three two  and five four  times larger than the baseline programme. programme~\cite{1308.3726}.  After the full 20- to  30-years programme of this upgraded ILC, the precision on the Higgs boson couplings to light fermions and to gauge bosons would still be a factor two worse than the precisions expected with only 10 years at TLEP~\cite{Snowmass} with $\sqrt{s} =$ 250 and 350~GeV, for a much smaller cost, .
