Worse for most, good for few

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

As world hasn't gotten into an agreement about changes regarding the climate change the world has gotten much warmer. Population has either started shrinking in areas that are no longer easily habitable or started moving towards better areas which are now getting crowded.
This of course affects health and wellbeing of the population.
Technology/science rushes forwards with the possibility to live off planet sooner rather than later it seems that the option is only for the most wealthy. It is true that technological breakthroughs could also make lives easier and better but at what cost? There are always those who'd profit which in turn makes benefiting from said progress expensive for everyone. Working definitely might change with automatic/remote controlled robots or such. But still the lower classes would'nt have that luxory.

Notes about the quiestionaire. The given/estimated 5 minutes is nowhere near enough time to collect thoughts/visions about possible future. Also there was no option to decline after clicking the link in email as there usually is.

Une belle utopie
The future would have changed a great deal, with people of all nationalities, political persuasions, genders and skin colors finally realizing that the planet has been influenced by mankind and that we have all escaped certain death because of our selfishness and our refusal to listen to the climatologists. Thanks to everyone's efforts, the values of tolerance, generosity and sharing are part of our daily lives. Solidarity is back, and its values are once again rooted in us.

Schöne, neue Welt
We live in harmony with nature, food is produced regionally, in good quality and with respect for plants and animals. Spending time together is valuable, but we also respect boundaries and individualism. Long-distance travel is not very important; we appreciate the beauty of our immediate surroundings. It doesn't matter how much someone has, only whether they are happy and make a contribution to society.

Drošība un stabilitāte
It's 2040, I feel safe in Europe, I can travel safely and it's safe to be in my own country, Life is so good because I don't have to worry about any riots or wars. Financial stability finally gives you the opportunity to live like a normal person, who doesn't have to live on potatoes for two weeks until the next salary, which will only be enough to pay the bills or feed the children.

tulevaisuuteni vuonna 2040
In 2040, I imagine that the world will have changed significantly. Technological advances have brought smart cities, using advanced intelligent systems to manage traffic. Cars will drive themselves, and public transport will be fast and environmentally friendly. Energy production is based entirely on renewable sources, such as solar and wind power, which has significantly reduced carbon emissions. People's lifestyles have also changed. Health care is more personalised and technology can be used to anticipate illness before it occurs. Food culture has diversified, with vegetarian diets becoming increasingly popular. Community is important and people are spending more time outdoors in nature, which has improved well-being. All in all, the future looks promising and I hope it will bring peace and sustainable development.
