The climate crisis could alter all aspects of life. FutureTales Lab invites you to consider the future you’d like for your grandchildren.
Scenario 1: Humans still live on Earth but with changing conditions and ways of life. Environmental crisis affects food security, energy, water, clean air, and waste management. People on high incomes can live as superhumans. Those of low incomes may become a forgotten useless class without access to healthcare, human rights, or education.
Scenario 2: Humans have to migrate on a massive scale, not just nationally or across continents but to the moon, Mars, other planets, or even a space station in orbit. Humanity must make major adjustments in exploring and building new empires outside the world. Superpowers could show their capabilities through space policy and investment from today.
Implications for the future:
- Innovation and technology can help humanity survive in extreme environments, with various industries investing to develop aerospace products and services.
- Organizations that care about people's well-being will follow humanity’s development to enhance quality of life and reduce social divides.
- Extreme scenarios show us how to prepare for actual situations.
