A future where we work less, consume less and pollute less - Everything has one underlying crisis: the climate crisis

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I hope that the future has changed the consumption pattern of today's generation. This will result in less demand for consumer goods, fewer working hours for the individual worker, and thus more time for family, friends and hobbies. At the same time, it will result in less pollution of our planet.

I know that this also means a rebellion with the current division of labor and industry. Instead, I hope that the future will reward the social sector and social work better and also recognize all the work that takes place in the home - which is often done by women.

I hope that the future dares to act on the many danger signals that stand as flashpoints around the world. Whether it is wars, discrimination, injustice, undignified working conditions or psychological problems of young and old people. Everything has one underlying crisis: the climate crisis. It must be acted upon based on various measures, where the world's decision-makers must dare to act. I hope that will have happened in 2040.

The way we work will change. Teleworking in the roaring years gave an impetus to the fact that work no longer requires a physical presence in the office for all jobs.By 2040, work will be done four days a week. This will allow for a greater degree of disengagement from work for time off. Nature and being close to nature will become an important part of people's well-being. Our environment will demand greater attention as a result of climate change. We work with respect for nature. We will return closer to nature. Local food, local tourism, work will also be done nearby, the need to travel will be reduced.

The EU becomes the largest economic crisis nation. The nations have fewer rights and less influence as they give the EU legislative powers. The USA, Russia and China improve their product quality and prices, otherwise the EU destroys their economies with sanctions. Through this power, the EU stabilizes large parts of the Middle East and Africa.

I hope that we will be spared wars until 2040 and beyond. The past has shown that it can only be negative and we should have learned from that. I hope we have a future in which diseases such as cancer or Alzheimer's can be cured and accidents can be prevented by modern technology.

Zukunftsmusik

In 2040, people have returned to their values and live more in community and togetherness than individualism. This starts in the closest circles, in families, and extends to social groups and institutions such as kindergartens and schools, universities and communities of interest throughout the population and does not stop at national borders. This issue is also being taken up in politics and international understanding and peace talks with a view to a future in which the next generation can still live well will be established. Natural resources will be used responsibly. New ideas will emerge on how to take appropriate account of nature. And how to use them well for humanity without exploiting them. There will be a shared vision for the future based on values and human rights.
