Mubadala-sponsored study shows climate change poses threat to world’s well-being

ABU DHABI, 29th March, 2023 (WAM) -- As the world's investors continue to negotiate with and navigate an increasingly complex international investment landscape and deploy capital to create a sustainable future, Mubadala Investment Company (Mubadala) is launching its Megatrends Study with Bloomberg Media, showing how climate change is a growing threat to the world and digital technologies serve as the greatest opportunity for a better future.

Based on a survey of over 1,800 global investors, engaged and informed Millennials, and Gen Z consumers from the UAE, UK, US, China, France, and India, the study finds climate change outstrips other megatrends as the greatest risk to the well-being of the world, impacting health, the environment, and business.

France (52 percent), the UK (50 percent), the UAE (41 percent), and India (39 percent) agree most strongly that climate change is the biggest threat, while the US (29 percent) and China (27 percent) see climate change almost on par with the impact of demographic shifts and inequalities.

In response to climate change, the need for a transition to a low carbon economy is highlighted, with the UAE and India feeling most strongly, at 93 percent and 92 percent respectively.
