→ Climate change will be the main decisive factor regarding natures overall future development

Note: might start off worse than today and then gradually improve over time via the help of intelligent systems

→ As a consequence of climate change, the natural environment will be increasingly interconnected with security, even on a micro level

→ Natural Disasters will increase by a large amount and lead to new waves of poverty and refugees fleeing their uninhabitable homes

→ Many species will go extinct due to climate change

→ There is a global price on carbon dioxide

→ Intelligent agents can help to reduce the impact and progress of climate change

→ BUT: Technological progress will need harmful resources unless breakthrough x happens in material science, until then the amount of power to produce and way of acquiring them can be optimized

→ The optimization of resource usage (including garbage management / recycling) will be a central strategic factor and potential

→ Food trends like synthetic meat, individual printed meals and food waste reduction will lead to an overall improved handling of food

→ Animal breeding could be an answer to avoiding the extinction of certain species

→ Gene editing might make endangered species more durable to external influences

→ Urban Farming is established in cities due to positive effects on health and lack of space
