Maailma hengittää taas!

2040 is a turning point in world history. We have been working together for 20 years. As a result of these efforts, re-freezing has been observed in polar glaciers. The Gulf Stream continues to flow and keeps the Nordic climate tolerable. The amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide has decreased. Thank you for making the Brazilian and Asian rainforests grow and function as the lungs of the world. Invasive alien species spread to new areas are returning to their original habitats. The number of wildfires in previous years has decreased and the number of tropical hurricanes has been lower than in previous years. All this, now and in the years to come, has been made possible by the collective effort of the peoples of the world for a common world. A world that is only on loan.
The senseless frenzy of increasing the production of all products has ceased and produces only the blood that the sustainable production capacity of the Earth makes possible. Recycling is well underway on continents and in countries where recycling has not taken place in the past. The world's seas, rivers and waterways have recovered from the enormous plastic waste that has been sown in them, thanks to advanced technology and awareness for the good of our waterways.

A peaceful world where everyone takes part in the collective success of France, where everyone can live comfortably and receives the merits of his efforts. A found justice or the deserving are those who provide the most commitment in society, and less taxed to maintain the laziness of those who participate in nothing.

Distopia
A world without borders free from war and hunger with a multi-ethnic society where every individual is respected without any distinction between ethnicity, skin color and religion. A green society no more pollution where nature has resumed its spaces a true participatory democracy where everyone can freely express their ideas

In 2040, Russia broke up into smaller states and China became a democracy. Prior to this, Russia has been at war, which has led to increased readiness and small border thorns also near the Finnish border. The World War could be avoided. Europe has been able to lighten the regulation that suppresses innovation, and the benefits of the common market have brought new prosperity to the whole region. Space tourism is still a utopia, but we dream of it. Artificial intelligence has reduced the need for labour, just like computers or the internet used to. The pain in society is that the top performers do well, but the less capable have fewer and fewer job opportunities and become passive. However, for political reasons, basic income has not been reached and there is a lot of this in the newspapers. Immigration has decreased and demographic trends have stabilised. The famine in Africa raises concerns and climate change puts pressure on population movements. The threat of war in the South is obvious. In the midst of the threats, I feel that already towards the end of my career I am financially safe thanks to entrepreneurship and hard work, and my children are doing well in a changed world. The future does not seem unproblematic, but disasters have, as before, been avoided.
