@Johanna Hoffman This is the long-version of this story. The shorter story can be found in the official brochure https://www.storiesfrom2050.com/stories Jara had been lying on the couch all day. When Zaz called to check in, she said she was sick, but that was a lie. She wasn’t sick. Just depress

Urbanisation of cities are fraught with several challenges. Smart sustainable city concepts (SSCC) present means to solve these problems. Therefore, over the years, researchers have been studying frameworks to adopt in the formation of smart sustainable cities to solve urbanisation challenges.

researchers are currently exploring how to equip plants with nanosensors capable of collecting and transferring data to tell us about their chemical, physical, physiological, and environmental needs. The aim is not only to improve productivity and address global food shortages, but also to make plan

Science shows us a clear path to 2050 in which both nature and 10 billion people can thrive together. “nature and people thrive, and people act to conserve nature for its own sake and its ability to fulfill and enrich our lives.” https://www.nature.org/en-us/magazine/magazine-

by Asad Ur Rahman Wandering through the beach, Idris and his grandfather felt a soothing sea breeze. They had come outside of their underwater community to enjoy walking on the narrow ***** of land. It was the only land that was left in the Maldives after the sea level rise in 2035. Idris was seve

"These scenarios for nature include multiple possibilities of how our nature could develop in the future: Baseline scenario. Business as usual scenario Scenario 1: Traditions. Nature as a source of cultural identity Scenario 2: Biodiversity. Return to wild nature Scenario 3: Economy. Nature within a

The loss of biodiversity was seen as a huge problem of the anthropocene - already before the Covid-19 pandemic started. Biodiversity is necessary in agriculture and for food provision, but also for the health of human beings or the environment. With the current pace of developments, the future of bi

Digital natives are already here. As the immersive technologies (AR, VR, XR, brain-to-machine) are evolving and the human attraction to them is only increasing, how will they mold the new generations? Will they be constantly living in a blended reality?

AI can find farms from space. The technique is being used to monitor some farms in Europe and may eventually be able to flag those that break the law. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2198898-ai-could-monitor-farms-from-space-to-look-for-illegal-pollution/ #AI #farming #pollution

050 Scenarios: Four plausible futures is intended to develop a vocabulary and framework to help us envision different futures and provide a platform to discuss the implications of the implied trajectories. Ultimately, they help to identify and visualise what is worth striving for and what to avoid.

In 2050 the planetary boundaries are recognized, and the resilience of ecosystems is a top priority. Measures to avoid tipping points and to adapt to climate change are implemented, but it remains unclear if already damaged ecosystems will be able to recover. The establishment of a comprehensive cat

Scientists at MIT in the US use nanotechnology to enable spinach to transmit information. This gave the scientists information about soil conditions, water quality or landmines. Key Insights: - Overcome the plant/human communication barrier - Actively engaging the roots of the plants to obtain in

Do Marine Algae provide a solution as a resource for the future or can too many harm the eco-system? What is your opinion on that? https://www.geomar.de/en/news/article/marine-algae-as-resources-for-the-future #algae #renewables #energy #co2
