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

The world's political landscape is full of very diverse and differently minded statesmen who should have more intelligent and meaningful conversations with each other, knowing each other's history, respecting each other's customs and culture. Differences enrich our minds and add variety to our lives by seeing the daily lives of other nations. Also, the nature, plants, animals of different regions are ours to protect, not to destroy en masse for the sake of an animal body part or a tree species. If you hunt an animal, think about whether it is essential, perhaps you can replenish your body's energy reserves with what is available. Our planet is producing a mind-boggling amount of food that is doomed to perish, as is body clothing and other consumer goods and packaging. May the planet not one day drown under the rubbish we produce, both on land and in the water. The air is full of the microplastics we breathe in and other chemicals, and air quality is under great threat. The greatest wish is to live in peace with other countries and cultures, to see animals living in peace in their own environment and not polluting the air, water and land. Humans, as the most evolutionarily intelligent, must not give up thinking and working with their heads, because there is a great danger of being deprived of social interaction, leading to loneliness and overthinking. Robots may exist, but to a certain limit, which must be regulated, and not to produce pointless rubbish and destroy mineral resources, thereby causing the depletion of the earth as well as strife between countries and people.

hello ,when it comes to the future i tend to think that nothing good is coming,,,.especially as a result of such political games by human governments...the worst that is coming is from nature - from the changes in the solar system...the earth is warming from below also the glaciers on the continental shelves are melting from below also the ocean is warming from below ,magma is coming closer to the surface...,Other planets in the solar system are also affected by the sun,where changes are also taking place, Mankind has no part in this ,,,people are being blatantly lied to,,,this whole society is now set up on a sham.so , as the top scientists claim not much longer , maybe a little over three years , then life on earth will have become unbearable , there will be a great migration of wafers , and with it will come life fights , wars , by the way Russia has already started , noo more of a killing frenzy after all , a predator nation , naku says their greeting -dovarizi .dovar is a commodity and izii is otsi ...commodity otsi,,but that's about it.and still the climate is increasing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions,,which have also been observed,,and never been seen before.but we shall see what we can feel this year..BUT THAT'S HAPPY FOR US,,VERY HAPPY

It is January 1, 20240 and it is 00:00. Happy New Year. Even in 2040, developments in ICT will be even more advanced than in the past 25 years. Unfortunately, automation is going to cost many jobs and the world economy remains uncertain. The Netherlands now has more "imports" living in most cities than natives. The developments that started 40 years ago are unstoppable and will continue. Successive governments have not been able to do anything about this growth, because the Netherlands is bound hand and foot to Europe. Economically, more and more money also has to be spent on defense, but in my opinion this is not necessary, because new wars are being fought via computer.
