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.

Framtiden och teknologin
In 2050, people woke up to the sound of birds singing played by smart alarm clocks. They reached for their AR glasses and saw today's agenda projected in front of them. After eating nutritious breakfasts prepared by kitchen robots, they went for walks through green cities. Between 2025 and 2050, the world had undergone major changes. The climate crisis had forced radical action, and now the cities were filled with vertical gardens and solar panels. Fossil fuels had been replaced by renewable energy, and autonomous electric cars dominated the roads. AI had revolutionized the world of work. Many repetitive and monotonous tasks were now performed by AI, freeing up time for people to focus on creative and strategic tasks. Research in biotechnology had made tremendous progress thanks to AI's help with data analysis and simulations. Communication technology had also evolved, and holographic encounters were now commonplace. An important aspect of life was the increased awareness of mental health. Between 2025 and 2050, society had begun prioritising well-being, and workplaces now offered regular breaks and mindfulness sessions. People felt grateful to live in a time where technological advances and human concern went hand in hand.

Normalność
The EU has been transformed into an economic union. Corrupt officials of the old union are in prison. After Putin's death, Russia wants to be a democratic country, but it does not work out. In Poland, the enemies of democracy (Tusk, Bodnar, Czarzasty, Biedroń, Trzaskowski, Nowacka and the rest of the left) are sent to prison. We have a normal, patriotic government and a Polish president in power ( Patryk Jaki ). Polish borders are guarded by border guards who do not allow African and Islamic "engineers", "doctors".

Die Welt als Gemeinschaft
In the morning, before I get up, I hear news. There is a regional, country and world-specific part. The UN is in a new form. All countries are equal, there is no veto right of individual nations. A "world court", democratically elected by all countries, is responsible for the observance of human rights and for matters that affect our earth, e.g. environment, resource degradation, etc. Racial discrimination is a thing of the past. Anyone can make their life the way they... they... want it... as long as it doesn't restrict the rights of others. Great care is taken to ensure that education is guaranteed for all and does not fail due to financial differences.

Futuro sostenibile
I hope that in the future we will no longer talk about climate problems, finally solved, and that people will live peacefully, feeding on safe products (without pesticides or substances harmful to individuals). I would also like more and more people to embrace a vegetarian (non-vegan that seems excessive to me) regimen to leave poor animals alone.
