60% of our reserved for nature, an official law accepted in 2030, when climate change was at its worst. And 40% for 'human' use.

Humans used to claim all land, for housing, roads, agriculture, while leaving little pieces to create some 'green'.....We where fighting for land, everybody wanted their piece. Understandably, as this was the way we looked at living and owning stuff. This happily changed. We had to, because in 2028 climate change was at its worst. We started to realise that we are not 'supreme' as a spieces, but part of the beautiful natural world that is around us.

It was quite a struggle to pass this initiative, but as Bhutan, a little country in the Himalaya area, had already successfully integrated such an initiative in the early 20ths, we knew it was possible. And saw the results of more connected and happy people.

I hope that there are some decision-makers who have opened their eyes to how society's economy can hang together in the long run. In 2040, I'm 51 years old and apparently still have more than 20 years in the labor market - that is, if I live that long. So in 2040, I hope that we have sorted out how the welfare society will be able to hang together and if I continue to work in the public sector, I hope that there has been a major review of the legislation surrounding public benefits, so that there is more dignity for both the sick and the caseworkers on the other side of the table.

There is no more money, everything is free, jobs are done without pay because we don't need it anyway because everything is free, people live in peace and without worry, we have enough natural resources, nature is green and unpolluted, politicians have become honest because there is no money to bribe them with....

In 2040, a world war will rage. It will be fought largely over water resources, which will then be chronically scarce. The few countries that still have clean, drinkable water resources will be under occupation by the richer developed countries, which will own their water resources. People will live in scarcity and poverty, famine will reign, disease will be rampant and people will die en masse from malnutrition and poisoning. War will end when humanity is extinct.

In 2050, Europe is very different. Cities have become green and smart, with tall buildings covered in plants that clean the air and generate energy. All buildings are energy self-sufficient and every home uses advanced recycling and solar panels. Cars have disappeared from the city streets, replaced by wide paths for pedestrians and cyclists. At every turn we see urban gardens where people grow their own food. Transport has changed completely, with high-speed railways and flying cars connecting cities across Europe. Education is technology-driven, with every child having access to a personalised curriculum. Europe has become a centre of innovation, where people from all cultures come together to create a better future, free from pollution and more connected to nature.
