Ways to change the world

UBS Climate Collective

Building coastal resilience

Climate change threatens all life on earth. Unless we act urgently, we’ll face an ever-growing threat of environmental catastrophe. Solutions that work exist! And some of these promising solutions lie in the coastal areas, which also happen to be some of the most affected areas. Only by collaborating radically with a razor-sharp focus can we bring them to the scale we need to mitigate the effect of climate change and build resilient livelihoods.

UBS Accelerate Collective

Investing in children's health, education, and the planet they live in

Every child deserves the opportunity to blossom into a well-rounded, healthy adult – equipped with everything they need to thrive in life. But millions of vulnerable children suffer from a lack of access to quality healthcare, education, and environment. Too often, they face a life spent struggling with poor health, poverty and difficulty finding work. Solutions that work exist, but we need to make them more sustainable. 

UBS Transform Collective

Raising children in loving families

The best place for children to grow up is in a family. But despite having families who want to look after them, millions of children live in institutions like orphanages – where they're at more risk of suffering from poor health, education, and prospects. They're also at far greater risk of abuse and trafficking. Solutions that work exist, but they need to be adapted to the local contexts and brought to scale.
