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.

Fremtidens energi
By 2040, the energy system in Denmark will be completely flexible and powered by renewable energy. Power from wind and solar is stored in large Power-to-X plants, so we always have energy when we need it. Cities are designed to be green and people-friendly with more recreational areas and fewer cars. Transportation is electrified and high-speed trains connect the entire country, making domestic air travel unnecessary. Energy is no longer a constraint, but a resource we use intelligently.

Il mondo futuro
I envision a future where public transportation is ubiquitous, frequent, and has no impact on pollution, where renewable energy is preponderant, where the health service functions effectively and quickly, where public administration is simplified and at the service of the citizen, where schools have more resources to properly train students, where prevention and road control really works, and where justice is swift and fair

Niūri perspektyva
I would like to see a peaceful and harmonious future, but I doubt it will happen. Now that the climate is changing, there will probably be water shortages. I think there will be migration from southern Europe to northern Europe. I think that tourism will be developed here. There will also be a need for food, so agriculture will be important.

Hopelijk een klein stukje van mijn toekomst
In 2040 the housing crisis is solved and me and my boyfriend have a nice house in the Gooi. Because people's mental well-being + (technological developments) are now paramount instead of "work life" I now work 3/4 days a week from 10:00 to 15:00. The rest of the time I have left for household chores and free time. I also eat and exercise more and healthier because it is more affordable and I have more time for this. Oh yes and the cabinet has gone normie and at least cancelled (the interest of) student debts and brought them back to 0%.
