- [Narrator] It's the year 2030.
Imagine waking up to a room
that reacts to your body signals, the way you move,
the actions you take as you get out of bed.
Your surroundings react in real time
to the subtle cues of your morning routine.
This is a future
where as little energy as possible is wasted.
A sustainable future needs the right funding behind it.
The UN estimates that 4.5 trillion dollars
of investment each year is required
to achieve truly sustainable development by 2030.
Thinking about reducing our environmental impact
is a key part of the UBS roadmap for a sustainable future.
As UBS looks to 2030 and beyond,
this vision is the key to putting resources
where they are needed today,
connecting people for a better world.
A low carbon, greener, healthier,
more energy-efficient future is possible.
Innovation and investments across all kinds of sectors
will play a significant role in making it a reality.
What will that mean for everyday living?
It will be an era where technology understands your habits,
space requirements, and delivers your cup of coffee
at just the right time.
That may seem like a small change, but look deeper.
That coffee is zero carbon and zero waste,
thanks to sustainable supply chains,
just the way you like it.
That is one big theme we see for the future: efficiency,
a future where nothing, not even time, goes to waste.
Smart homes are self-sustaining and energy efficient.
Everything is charged under one roof,
even charged by the roof.
Rooftop solar and other alternative energy sources
will help us transition towards a net zero economy.
But this transition will take investments.
Based on IRENA calculations,
UBS expects global investment opportunities
of up to 130 trillion US dollars
flowing into global energy transition by 2050,
with about 40% of this expected between 2021 and 2030.
Investments are already helping make cleaner transport
and smarter mobility a reality.
The smart mobility market is projected to reach a value
of two trillion US dollars by 2030.
And we're already seeing rapid innovation
in synthetic hydrocarbon fuels, smart highways,
AI-controlled shipping routes,
and robotaxis that appear right on time,
enabling a new level of efficiency
and making traffic jams very last decade.
Smart mobility will contribute to a healthier environment
and will make it more efficient
to move things and people around.
Goods, like food and clothing, and services,
like education and healthcare will be closer than ever
to those who need them.
Smart low carbon transportation
can boost trade possibilities globally.
In the most important ways,
a typical day in 2030 is not so different from today.
We still have a fundamental need to connect with others
and share experiences,
for example, over a delicious meal.
But in 2030, that meal is more likely
to involve plant-based food.
By 2025, the predicted value
of the plant-based food movement
will already be 51 billion US dollars.
And because of investment in consumer apps
that enable secure data sharing,
AI will help us reduce our waste
by predicting our tastes, preferences,
and how much we will consume.
The future will be shaped to our needs
and the needs of the planet, if we keep working towards it.
And as we focus on working towards an improved future,
UBS aims at bringing people together
to develop low carbon solutions
and real world change by 2030.
We're proud to partner with worldwide visionaries
and sustainable investors.
