Woman is looking at a tablet screen in a darkened room. Camera moves to show another woman looking at her mobile phone in a darkened room.

[Male Voiceover]

Our world is becoming increasingly connected, and so too are the challenges.

[Visuals]

Footage of various transport is played back on high speed. Cars, traffic and trains are visualized with bright lights. Crowds of people are seen crossing roads, walking through cities and offboarding trains.

[Visuals]

Sky scene changes to show clouds, which then switches to a third world country, then back to an industrial site leaking smoke into the sky. This is followed by fires in Australia, footage of kangaroos and people of African origin walking through dry landscapes.

[Male Voiceover]

Their significance - and our commitment to resolving them - can bring us together.

[Visuals]

Footage changes to many different people doing different thing within an office/team building environment. Footage depicts people of all races.

[Male Voiceover]

The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals seek to address the world’s biggest challenges - to enable a more prosperous future.

[Visuals]

Many people are at conference style events, hosted by Shell. This shows two men in Shell logo shirts with a microphone.

[Male Voiceover]

These challenges, including ending poverty, improving health and education and tackling climate change are complex and highly interconnected.

[Visuals]

Footage shows many different parts of the world, some surrounded by water, others not. There is a small African boy rolling a tyre through the street.

[Text displays]

Logos on screen depict, 1 No poverty, 2 Zero hunger, 3 Good heath and well-being, 4 Quality education, 7 Affordable and clean energy, 6 Clean water and sanitation and 13 Climate action. The logos become animated and move to create a hexagon shape, where all the logos are connected by digital drawn lines.

[Male Voiceover]

The key to addressing them is ensuring sustainable access to vital resources like food, clean water and energy

[Visuals]

Footage shows running water, growing plants, a man walking through a corn field (checking the produce), rice being poured from a bag, a small Asian boy drinking with his hands from a water fountain/outdoor tap point, and a men in high vis overalls checking the engineering of some pipes. This is followed by light bulbs lighting up and a gas ring igniting, to depict heat and light.

[Male Voiceover]

These three resources are so tightly interlinked that when we think about one we must think about them all.

[Visuals]

Several forms of electricity are depicted from household to street. Three digital graphic logos appear on screen connected with a circle. One is a wavy line (water), one is a pylon (electricity) and one is a knife and fork (food source), the logos are animated and start spinning with arrows connecting each one in red and yellow, to show how they are all connected.

The footage then zooms out to a field growing produce, and then pans out to show the Earth from space, accompanied by dramatic music.

[Male Voiceover]

With the world's population due to hit 10 billion by 2050 how do we meet the ever-increasing demand for these resources, tackle global challenges and ensure a sustainable future?

[Visuals]

Multi-cultural images are playing, from market places around the world and busy streets, to rubbish dumps and barefoot rubbish workers in the third world.

This then changes to show running water from taps, to fresh food being tossed in a pan. Sped up playback of plants growing is teamed with busy food markets. The footage then shows heavy rainfall teamed with bushfires, destructive winds and cracked dry earth.

Use of energy is shown, using an electric box to feed currents, to heat and light being used for multiple purposes.

[Male Voiceover]

The world needs creative thinkers… And a new way of thinking. The world needs you.

[Visuals]

Children are solving/creating physics/maths problems on paper, followed by a team of three teenagers “fist bumping”, this is then quickly changed to two Asian girls with cultural markings on their faces who appear to be doing homework with a pen and paper.

Chemistry classes are shown, with children observing in a classroom. Lots of positive images of children/teenagers sitting groups who appear to be problem solving together.

[Male Voiceover]

This is your chance to get involved and make change happen.

[Visuals]

A man in Asia is manually scattering seeds onto a plot of land, this is followed by a South East Asian women standing in front of a classroom reading from a book. The footage then changes to small Asian boys, and then a Muslim women participating in a conversation with a Middle Eastern man.

[Visuals]

Camera zooms into human eye.
