we came close to disaster but escaped it. Maybe it took the scare to push us to do something. in the 15 years from 2025 to 2040 we realized that the future is not just an abstract idea that someone else will take care of. Sure, things are not perfect, but eventually an agreement was reached among nations to reduce the emissions that are harming the planet. A new consciousness has spread. On the streets, internal combustion cars are increasingly rare, replaced by electric motors or often even bicycles. Technology has moved on but it has also become simpler, with a taste for the essential that was not there in the past so overflowing with frills and driven consumerism.
Studies show that global warming is coming under control. The damage has been there and new damage will still be there before the end, but work is being done and successes are being seen.
Even in politics having come close to a new world war brought us closer together, first with suspicion, still fearful that this or that other nation was waiting for just the slightest opening for a new attack but then forging bonds. Only 15 years have passed, sure, the process is still in its infancy, but it is well under way.
It is not a perfect world. But it is a better world that is improving

Eine bessere Welt

In my future everyone would be treated equally no matter where they come from the evil in the world would be history the rich would no longer be rich everyone would be cared for equally so that they are well off I would invest time in things that would make life better in the long run

Keine Grüne brachte die Welt

I would only wish for one thing: that the green nonsense disappears from the planet so that prosperity and growth are once again possible for all people on this planet. After the growth of the last few decades, humanity will grow, which will automatically steer nature back onto a path that ensures the survival of humanity, no longer with 8, 9 or 11 billion, but ultimately with a sensible 4 to 6 billion on the planet. Until then, the best possible thing has to be done and that is not what ygreens imagine with veggieday and genderwoke work-life balance under wind turbines and solar plants! Have a nice life!

De-escalation and Cooperation

Vladimir Putin died in 2025, ending years of dictatorship, censorship, and overblown ideas of Russian power. After a fair and transparent election, a progressive politician comes to power, and the old regime falls away with the reactionaries. In the 15 years following, Russia has become an economic powerhouse and has international cooperation as its focus. With a stable government, it is not a military threat to Europe, China, or indeed, any other country. This has inspired other regions in Asia and the Middle East to scale back aggressive behaviours, especially regarding disputed territories. Israel has relocated its citizens to new builds, and negotiations are being held to establish an independent Palestinian state. Hamas has become a political organisation and has renounced its militant ways. Israel has also started making amends to the Palestinian people, but this is a long and ongoing process. The US has become the old guard. It is still a place of dreams and technology, but after the economic crash of 2026, the American people are tired of the pursuit of more and more. The slow life is now the lifestyle trend.

Self sufficiently Green.

In 2040 all dwelling places are sold with a small growing space where people grow some if their own food. In addition all new apartments are linked to a communal growing space that has a polytunnel for growing tomatoes, courgettes, beans. In 2040 there is no more factory farming and most of the population are vegan. Animal welfare has become an important topic and people have realised that a plant based diet is the most healthy way to live. Membership of these food growing allotment spaces is free and as public transport is now free, there is no barrier to access them. Because of catastrophic climate events, people now realise the importance of food security and self sufficiency. They have voted for parties that promote green living and animal and planet care.
