As we move further into the 21st century, the evidence of climate change is becoming increasingly clear. In the next 50 years, the world will likely be a dramatically different place, shaped by the consequences of global warming; sea-level rise, extreme weather events, and the loss of biodiversity. While many of these changes are already underway, their full impact will be felt in the decades to come.
Taking a conservative life expectancy probability of 80, any person born in 1995 or later is likely to witness these transformations firsthand, experiencing the profound effects of a rapidly changing planet. We take a look at the world 50 years from now, the impact of our actions, and the challenges that will define the future of life on this planet.
