I have been retired for a few years and live a serene elderly life in my own home with my spouse. I don't have grandchildren because my own children didn't want to have children because they felt uncertain about the climate and the future.
The carbon neutrality targets have finally been achieved, a few years later than planned, but much easier and cheaper than what was intimidated by the government parties in 2025. Right-wing parties have lost support and tolerance and understanding differences are commonplace. Immigration has increased with climate refugees, but it has also helped to keep the whole country inhabited. Agriculture is flourishing and our country is self-sufficient in grain. Thanks to wind, water and nuclear power, our country is also self-sufficient in terms of energy.
Being at the forefront of the green revolution, the country has received a lot of investment that has been linked to the green economy, and that is why our economy has grown and debt is being paid off, rather than being increased.
Young people's faith in the future is brighter than in years, and as a result of good health and economic policy, the world's population has turned to decline. It is no longer necessary to have children in order to ensure that old age is safeguarded. In every country, girls get to go to school and decide on their own body.
I can quietly close my eyes and fall asleep in the afternoon sun for a moment and then get up to make an early dinner for myself and my spouse.
