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.

In 2050, the world has changed radically. Electromagnetic energy feeds cities in a completely green way, with no pollutants or waste of natural resources.

Little Dream
I imagine a better future, made up of general well-being, and more wealth for people, more social aid for the weakest categories. The government must increase security in cities to avoid crime, if there is more well-being for people crime also decreases. I imagine a better environment, a cleaner city, and more care and respect for the environment.

Reimagining Earth: A Sustainable Future
In 2040, I would love to see significant progress in sustainability, particularly in the way we handle waste and consumption. Imagine a future where cities are zero-waste, and all resources are continually reused or repurposed. Every product would be designed with its entire lifecycle in mind—no more planned obsolescence or single-use plastic. Instead, everything would be made from materials that are either biodegradable or completely recyclable. Waste would be a thing of the past, as we’d have efficient, accessible systems in place to compost organic matter and recycle materials into new products. Food production would also be more sustainable, with urban farming and vertical gardens providing fresh, local produce, reducing the need for long-distance transportation. This future would have less pollution, cleaner air, and more green spaces in urban areas, as cities would prioritize nature-based solutions. People would have access to affordable renewable energy, and we’d rely on clean, efficient technologies for transportation, minimizing carbon footprints. It’s a future where the Earth’s resources are valued, and the way we live is in harmony with nature. The changes would create healthier communities, reduced environmental impact, and a better quality of life for all.

Rêve d'avenir meilleur
In 2040, I can't believe my eyes. Europe has recovered from a purely economic community to a common political and strategic functioning. The awakening of citizens has worked from the ground up, through individual and collective initiatives of change in view of the climate that is still deteriorating but slowing down thanks to new territorial developments. Barter and aid have once again become everyday activities: We lend, we give, we praise what we have in exchange for what we do not have.
