The World in 2050

How might our Earth adapt?

Data driven scenario with a global average temperature increase of +2.9C

We created Tomorrow Envisioned: The World in 2050 as a narrative foresight report, exploring what life might look like if global average temperatures rise by +2.9°C. Far from a forecast, it is a story of possibilities: shifting seasons, altered coastlines, stressed ecosystems, and communities adapting in ways both challenging and hopeful.

Built from research, forecasts, and climate projections, the report translates complex data into human stories that make the future tangible. Organized continent by continent in alphabetical order, it offers a journey across the globe, revealing contrasts, connections, and the shared challenges of a warming world.

The result is more than analysis. It is an invitation to step inside possible futures, to reflect on how they may shape our daily lives, and to recognize that the choices we make now determine the worlds we pass on.
