Future scenarios: how megatrends are reshaping our world

Three scenarios for 2035

To envision 2035 as realistically and usefully as possible, we focused on a trio of plausible global scenarios: three divergent tomorrows.  

Each ‘tomorrow’ varies from a baseline scenario, which assumes current trajectories persist. And each tomorrow contains specific assumptions about AI deployment and climate response that inform our economic modelling.

In this scenario, the integration and responsible use of advanced technologies enables widespread productivity growth and job creation while supporting sustainable solutions and innovation. Frameworks for trust (including global standards and cooperation) are part of this picture. The economic benefits of AI would exceed the stranded asset costs associated with decarbonisation, leading to economic growth rates higher than baseline expectations, even after adjusting for climate-related economic damages.

It’s easy to imagine a world where national and regional interests take centre stage; where sustainability efforts aren’t maximised; and where technology is more fragmented, less trusted and less able to deliver on the productivity potential of AI. Growth would be status quo at best, with AI gains and climate costs largely cancelling each other out, and the energy transition proceeding slowly, setting the stage for larger physical climate risks in the future.

Conflicts, instability and ever-greater uncertainty may converge to erode trust in technology and its economic benefits; AI takes away more work than it creates; and sustainability measures are neglected at the cost of the future. Growth in this scenario could dip below the baseline projections.

Explore the domains of growth

Select from the nine domains below to learn how they are forming, the size of the opportunity and how to seize the value in motion.

How we Make

The Make domain is changing the face of manufacturing. Digitisation, automation and advanced technologies like AI, IoT and 3D printing are at the core of the transformation. Companies are reimagining production—integrating capabilities across sectors to build an expansive, tech-driven ecosystem.

They're boosting efficiency, sustainability and resilience.

They're adapting to climate changes, shifting trade dynamics and honing specialised skills.

And it's all driven by collaboration between manufacturers, AI firms, robotics experts and cybersecurity providers. By 2035, the Make domain could add over $34 trillion to global GDP.
