By 2050, we will have to feed close to 10 billion people – 2 billion more than today – while committing to net zero greenhouse gas emissions.

Is the future of food high energy pills and liquids full of nutrients injected intravenously like in Star Trek?

In this new episode of 2050 Investors, Kokou Agbo-Bloua looks at the future of the food industry and discusses key industry initiatives to develop a more sustainable supply chain with David Hayes, Societe Generale's in-house food industry analyst.

2050 Investors

Economy, planet, markets and you
In insurance lingo, an “Act of God” is an event outside of human control or activity, such as natural disasters. With the growing frequency of such "Acts of God" - amplified by acts of men - the question of the insurability of climate risks is front and centre.

Kokou Agbo-Bloua takes on this key topic and investigates how the insurance industry has been adapting to meet the challenge. He brings in Mr Ernst Rauch, Chief Climate and Geo Scientist at Munich Re, to go one step further.

03/17/22 • 24 min

Economy, planet, markets and you

A recent UN report expects 68% of the world population to live in cities by 2050, compared to about 55% today. The uncomfortable truth behind that is that cities are responsible for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions, waste and pollution.

In this new episode of 2050 Investors, Kokou Agbo-Bloua explores the concept of smart cities and investigates whether they are simply the result of an intelligent designer or if there are more complex evolutionary forces at play?

He is joined by the mayor of one the world’s most celebrated smart cities, Helsinki’s Mayor Juhana Vartiainen, to discuss the future of urbanisation and how smart cities rise to the challenges of sustainability, the energy transition and simply, strive to make life better for their citizens.

We are a mobile species. With the exponential development of transportation technologies and modes over the past centuries, we can now travel faster and further than ever before.
