Simple, but happy.

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

After almost two decades of wars, climate crisis, pandemic and economic crisis, there will be new arising of hope and togetherness. Society will be changed deeply: new forms of community, more co-living, transformed family structures, less urban agglomerates, back to a somewhat simpler but happier life. There will be more sharing of goods, spaces and "belongings" instead of consumerisms and individualism. There. will be a stronger connection, a re-connecting to core values and the sense to work and live not for economic growth, but emotional and spiritual growth. It will no longer be a narrative of "giving up" something but go "gaining" new things, when talking about how less is more... Changing the way how we live in communities impacts how we shape society on a political, ethical, societal level. Change comes from below.

Human centred with democracy and rationalism and nature protection

Anonymous

I would like to see the world as a more hospitable place for ALL people in 2040. An ideal future would be a world where everyone has the chance to live with similar values and peaceful visions (humanistic values and aims), a future where people would work with the help of AI (well-regulated though), with democracy and rationalism, a future where all attempts are focused on the expansion human race's prosperity and nature (environment) would be well respected and protected.

Living in harmony

I imagine a future where every human shows respect to nature and to others, no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation, skin color, age, financial background, educational background or any other aspect that makes them "different" than the norm. If people change their mindsets towards this, a lot of struggles and obstacles that we face will be improved and we will move towards the achievement of the SDGs.

Equity, fairness and respect

Anonymous

I dream of a future where prejudice of gender, race and social background are eliminated. People are judged exclusively on the basis of their personalities and skills and state/authorities and individuals are united as one in their actions and policies. I hope that mankind would have realised that we need to respect and safeguard the environment and are living a measured life respecting the planet.
