World Business | Markets stumble, tariffs rise & gen Z’s climate vision

Tonight’s World Business Special takes a two-part look at the forces shaping our global economy and our shared future.

First, in The Week in Numbers, Nvidia forecasts a staggering $4 trillion in AI infrastructure spending by 2030, but investor confidence falters as concerns mount over China’s market. The US doubles tariffs on Indian exports to 50% amid disputes over Russian oil purchases. TikTok’s parent ByteDance values itself at $330 billion in a buyback deal, far below Meta’s $1.9 trillion. Keurig Dr Pepper secures an $18 billion acquisition of Dutch coffee company JDE Peet’s, challenging Nestlé’s dominance. Lego reports record $5.4 billion half-year sales thanks to blockbuster partnerships with Formula One and Jurassic Park.

Then, our feature interview shifts focus to the climate crisis. We speak with XClimate, a youth-led global platform using AI, climate science, and public health to build real-time resilience tools for vulnerable communities. Its founder shares how Gen Z innovation is driving accessible, human-centred solutions to climate challenges worldwide.

It’s a programme that captures both the week’s biggest economic headlines and the fresh voices shaping tomorrow’s climate resilience.
