I envision a 2040s era in which the problem of climate change is significantly mitigated thanks to global growth, innovation and lifestyle change. The world is turning to clean energy - solar, wind and fusion technologies - and fossil fuels are certainly being sinking. Castles are empty of green areas, vertical farms and liveable land, while rivers, musts and noise are being restored.
People have been encouraged to change - consumption is rational, products are longer-lasting and recyclable, and the economy is based on social principles. Technology, instead of making life harder, allows for a better quality of life and more free time for creativity, learning and socialising.
