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.

Der Mensch trägt die Verantwortung
I would like people to respect themselves more, to be less focused on profit and more on charity, to use their abilities to help people who have less money to make something of their lives. I would like people to value themselves more, then they would buy fewer unhealthy products and respect their health and the health of others more, which would also benefit the environment. They would eat more healthily and have more respect for creation, and therefore for themselves, because they are part of creation. An individual person who really changes by learning to really value themselves also changes their whole lifestyle, which creates a chain to the environment. This also makes the country/nation healthier. Change starts with every single person and only that can really change the world, the nation for the better and that is my vision for 2040.

Un avenir entouré d'amour et de respect
In 2025, families have drifted apart. So things have to change. Our house has 2 parts: one for our couple, one for the children and grandchildren. In the middle, the common room where we can see each other if we need or want to. A fireplace, armchairs and a sofa, a piano and other musical instruments for playing together. A TV to share after voting on which program to watch together. A kitchen and dining room table where we can dine together whenever we like. A large garden with lots of games for the little ones. A swimming pool. A quieter corner for the adults too, with games and reading. The key word: family communication.

unser Klima
By the middle of the 21st century, it will probably be one to two degrees Celsius warmer than it is today. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assumes that the earth could even heat up by up to 5 degrees Celsius by 2100. Climate change has a complex impact on humans and nature: extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall or heatwaves will occur more frequently as a result of the higher earth temperature. In addition, melting ice caps are expected to cause sea levels to rise by up to one meter by 2100. Flooding, devastation, food shortages and species extinction are also direct consequences of global warming. In addition, access to clean drinking water will become increasingly precarious. As a result, climate-related migration movements are becoming a global challenge. In view of these prospects, climate researchers are calling for swift action: If we reduce our CO2 emissions by 40 to 70 percent by 2050 and to zero by 2100, global warming can still be limited to 2 degrees Celsius.

Paris futuriste sans les ecologistes
I imagine Paris in 2050 without the constraints imposed by environmentalists, where the city would be transformed by technological advances and architectural innovations. 1 Transportation: Paris streets would be dominated by autonomous, electric vehicles, reducing the need for parking and allowing traffic to flow smoothly. Transport drones could also be integrated, carrying people and goods through the air. 2. architecture: buildings would be designed using futuristic materials, perhaps even self-regenerating structures that adapt to climatic conditions. Rooftops would be covered with lush gardens and recreational spaces, creating oases within the city. 3 Energy: The city could be powered by advanced renewable energy sources, such as solar panels integrated into building facades or discreet urban wind turbines, making Paris almost energy self-sufficient. In short, Paris in 2050 could be a dynamic metropolis where technology and innovation shape daily life, while offering a pleasant, modern living environment.
