Another world (Another world)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

We live in a calm society.

Everyone works to improve the environment and protect life. Insects have reappeared, butterflies foiled again in summer along the river. After years of challenging change, the complete reorientation of our global activities is almost complete. Humanity has drunk its desire of any power, and is committed to non-action and simple activities.

International trade in goods and people has decreased, the economy operates in a short loop, and local identities have reappeared – a mixture of old traditions and globalisation. New technology and energy make it possible to ensure a low and happy existence with fewer machines. Oil, coal, gas and advertising were completely banned after COP31, including in China, India and Indonesia!

The former monotheistic religions were abandoned, as well as the ‘manifest destiny’ in the United States after the Great Civil War of 2025-2028. The notions of what is good or bad have been profoundly re-visited, the desire for power and jalousia have greatly diminished.

Peace is never achieved, but humanity and the whole of life seem to be reconciled and on the right path to start a new cycle of prosperity for the next centuries.

Das Jahr 2040
The year is 2040 and we live in a time when people have understood that war is not a solution. After the USA and China have proven to the world that they have power, peace reigns. Unfortunately, people can no longer live everywhere without problems due to weather disasters. There are more and more periods of heat and therefore drought. The world is constantly changing.

vivre simplement
In 2040, I'd like us to still be able to live in nature, to still be present, to still be in good health. I'd like my family to be able to continue to live in complete freedom, to maintain the French traditions that we hold so dear, to preserve the heritage that has made our country what it is, and for everyone to be able to live together in complete safety.

Grünes Utopia
In 2040, we will have managed to live sustainably and ecologically without exploiting nature any further. Damaging the environment leads to very high penalties. People have finally realized that humans, animals and the environment only work together - not separately. This is why nature and animal protection has become so important. Animal products are now only consumed and produced in exceptional cases. Animal rights have taken on a high priority. We have also come a long way in terms of technology, so that there are almost no private vehicles any more, but you can get to your destination quickly and easily with car sharing or public transport. Consumption has changed drastically and it is no longer about "more, more, more" and Provit, but about long-lasting, sustainable, social products that are good for everyone. There are awards for companies that act in a particularly honest, socially and environmentally responsible way. People are much healthier and happier. There is more cohesion and cultural exchange.

Freundlichkeit
I wish that people would treat each other more kindly again in the future. People should no longer just be selfish, because basically we're all in the same boat. I wish people would be more human and helpful again. Children should be brought up better again. Decency, politeness and above all consideration should become much more important again. The world as it is right now is too unfriendly, cold and aggressive. Today, people hardly dare to go outside in broad daylight, let alone in the evening.
