60% for nature

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

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.

Hand in Hand
n 2040, I would like to see a world in which technology and humanity go hand in hand to improve life for everyone. It would be particularly important that artificial intelligence and automation not only increase prosperity, but also reduce social inequality. AI will be used to make education, healthcare and job opportunities more efficient and accessible so that no one is left behind. In this future, work is no longer only tied to physical presence - flexible working models make it possible to better combine life and work. At the same time, society has shifted its focus to mental health. There is a strong culture of mindfulness and compassion, both at work and at home. Stigmatization of mental illness is a thing of the past, and everyone has access to the resources they need. Climate change has been largely halted by innovative technologies and sustainable lifestyles. Renewable energy has become the norm and cities are green and liveable. In this future, the world is a place of peace, justice and mutual respect - for the planet and for all people.

The future is maddening today.
I hope the future in the world had been eliminated racism, xenophobia and corruption. Less poverty. I believe more opportunities to people working less time and be more productive and had time to spend with family. I imagine one world also with less nature destruction.

In 2040, we live in peace and balance. We work, but only to pass the time. Everyone is happy, life is pleasant. There is no evil, people live in peace. No one wants to oppress anyone. Children can play in the streets in peace. They don't have to be afraid of getting hurt. The police do their job. So people can live in peace. It's important that it's not just the motorists who are being bullied. They could investigate and put their energy into catching criminals. Because right now they are not really "serving and protecting" (at least not the citizens).

i hope that I would like it
In 2040, I would love to see a future where sustainability is a top priority. Imagine a world where renewable energy sources like solar and wind power are the norm, where recycling and reducing waste are ingrained in everyday life, and where eco-friendly practices are widespread. I envision cities with green spaces, clean air, and efficient public transportation systems. People would be more conscious of their environmental impact, leading to a healthier planet for future generations. It would be amazing to see innovations in technology that promote sustainability and protect our environment.
