Mobility with Impact: From Ancient Roads to Hyperloops, a look at the Future of Transportation (ft. John Saffrett, Deputy CEO of ALD)
01/13/22 • 25 min
How will the world of transportation evolve by 2050? Will autonomous cars powered by AI and hyperloops with pods reaching speeds of 1000 km/h replace human drivers? 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.
In this new episode of 2050 Investors, Kokou Agbo-Bloua wonders if we could really design a more sustainable way of getting around and contemplate a carbon-free future of transportation. From Neil Armstrong's historic moon landing to the modern-day quest for sustainable mobility, he explores how humanity's thirst for progress has shaped our means of travel.
Kokou also interviews John Saffrett, Deputy CEO of ALD, a leader in sustainable mobility, to gain valuable perspectives on the future of mobility. From the electrification of vehicles to the potential of autonomous technology, Saffrett shares his expertise on the trends shaping the industry and the critical role of sustainability in driving innovation.
As we ponder the future of transportation in a world increasingly connected through digital platforms and subscription-based models, we also consider the broader implications for society and the environment. Could advancements in virtual reality and the Metaverse ecosystem lead to a decline in physical mobility? Or will humanity's innate drive for progress keep us moving forward, ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come?
This episode promises to enrich your understanding of sustainability, technology, and finance, while inspiring you to contemplate the role of mobility in shaping our collective future. Whether you're a seasoned investor, a technology enthusiast, or simply curious about the world around you, there's something for everyone in this entertaining exploration of sustainable mobility.

2021 is dead, long live 2022! A Journey into Consumption, Emissions, and Future Solutions | Carbon footprint, Sustainability
Happy 2022! We are one year closer to 2050, the year where we are supposed to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions if we want to limit the dreadful consequences of climate change. But can we reach net zero without sacrificing economic growth?
In this special year-end episode of 2050 Investors, Kokou Agbo-Bloua focuses his attention on our planet and the aftermath of Glasgow's COP26, while looking at our insatiable appetite for goods and services during the holiday season.
Join him on a fascinating journey through space and time as he delves into Earth's incredible speed and asks pressing questions about our collective impact on the environment.
Through a blend of scientific inquiry and critical analysis, Kokou investigates the intersection of economics, consumerism, and environmental stewardship. With a spotlight on recent developments such as the COP26 conference in Glasgow, he assesses the progress made in addressing climate change and the challenges that lie ahead. From the paradox of relentless consumerism to the complexities of the Kaya identity equation, we unpack the factors driving carbon emissions and explore potential pathways towards a more sustainable future.
Delving deeper, we examine the carbon footprint of everyday activities, from holiday festivities to digital consumption, shedding light on the environmental cost of our choices. Drawing on insights from experts and thought leaders, we confront the urgent need for systemic change and collective action to mitigate the looming threat of climate change.
As we bid farewell to 2021 and usher in a new year, we are reminded of the power of individual and collective action in shaping a brighter future for generations to come. Through introspection and advocacy, you’ll strive to heed the call for change and embrace a path towards sustainability and resilience.

Greenflation: Inflation’s New Variant (ft. Klaus Baader, Global Chief Economist at Societe Generale) | Finance, Markets, Green Transition
A new variant of inflation has emerged: green inflation, or Greenflation. Beginning with a reflection on recent economic trends and inflationary pressures, Kokou Agbo-Bloua explores the emergence of this phenomenon. From the trading floors to geopolitical tensions, he analyzes how the fight against climate change is reshaping economic dynamics and investor sentiments.
As the investigation unfolds, critical questions arise: How will central banks reconcile their mandates for price stability with the imperative to address climate-related challenges? Can governments and monetary authorities find common ground amidst divergent interests?
Kokou’s research extends to the heart of the matter: the implications of Greenflation on both monetary policy and the green transition. From the imperative of sustainable investment to the delicate balance between inflation management and fiscal policy, there’s a nuanced perspective on the path forward.
Through an engaging interview with Klaus Baader, Societe Generale's Global Chief Economist, Kokou examines the potential impacts of rising commodity prices, energy costs, and the push for environmental sustainability on inflationary trends worldwide.
In a world where the stakes are high and the challenges are manifold, the choice becomes clear: embrace the green pill for action. Join us on this journey of exploration and discovery as we confront the realities of Greenflation and chart a course towards a more sustainable future.
By tuning in to this episode, you gain valuable insights into the intricate interplay between sustainability, finance, and global markets. You also empower yourself with the knowledge and perspectives necessary to make informed decisions in an increasingly complex and dynamic economic environment.
