The document discusses four potential scenarios for sustainable lifestyles by 2050, emphasizing the roles of local communities, empathic interactions, and technological advancements. It outlines significant events and societal changes leading to these scenarios, particularly focusing on the evolution of labor, economic systems, and the importance of local innovation.

- 9. LOCAL LOOPS
- 10. LOCAL LOOPS The world is built bottom-up by skillful communities. Global interaction between people is mediated, not directed. Some institutions remain global. Local professional guilds are both the innovation system and the environmental agent. Cities have changed from consumption units to self-sustaining ones. Emphasis is on user-centric design that produces smart and creative local solutions. Embedded, locally sensitive intelligence enables the economic system to decouple. Merit is not based on hierarchy, but on skills that contribute to the society. Work becomes meaningful and a source of pride. Interlinkages btw people are based on sharing skills. Time banks emerge as skills are shared. Local technologies enforce mutual respect among members of the community. Local loops is a society of craftsmen and craftswomen.
- 11. How did we get here? 2015: OIL CRISIS HITS forcing the governments to rationing consumption. Use of private cars is restricted. People living in remote areas are most affected. Panic spreads around the world causing restlessness. US troops are at the border of Saudi-Arabia in 2016. Lack of resources brings about innovation.Through the rise of energy prices eating, living and mobility become more expensive. Locally designed sustainable solutions around energy intensive consumption areas start to emerge in the 20’s. Value chains of the communities are changing rapidly. In 2030‘s existing building stock starts to find new forms. Facilities of assemblence and reassemblance occur.Tracing systems of material, assemblance and tools enable local businesses to flourish.
- 12. KEY QUESTIONS How has the division of labour evolved? What are the value chains? What drives innovation? What makes people understand each other?
- 15. Can interest groups take care of the commons?
- 16. Hobby groups have turned to interest groups that form the superpowers of Europe. They affect to referendums heavily by lobbying and strong PR engines. The global monetary system has split in two: local system works without money, but covers quite big part of the economy. Global monetary system has more than one currency as energy and emissions has emerged as currencies that are transformable to money. Cities have two layers. The role of physical infrastructure has diminished as the technological improvements are taking the main role. The apartments are smaller and there is lesser need for transportation. Technological tools are used in educational purposes to spread peer-to-peer information. There will also be quick changes in official curriculums of European schools.
- 17. Major events 2040: The first major conflict between different interest groups. 2025: Mobility car acquires Mercedes Benz. 2025: The local non-monetary systems have found their shape. 2015: Communities of young people start to share urban farms, cars, kitchens thus affording everyday luxury. 2015: Kids are provided cognitive tools that will enable more ethical decisions.
- 18. Questions to be discussed • How public spending will be turned to support the idea of commons? • How the local currency will emerge? • What are the major drivers changing upbringing in schools and homes? (Value change, motivation) • Where are the biggest emission reductions found at 2025 and 2050.
- 20. Empathic Communities Empathic Communities are societies in which people recycle resources in local local loops, public and private space is used as dynamically as possible according to needs, and people think of access and experiences in sense of what is meaningful. Happiness is based on experiences and possibilities for access rather than materials and salaries. Nation states are old-fashioned and big cities like the Greater Villages Area of Helsinki and the League of Municipalities in Catalunya communicate in global sphere to make world-wide actions possible. Car use has diminished and the space that was used by private transportation structures is now made public and used for food production etc. People exchange goods and services locally and everyone’s needs are provided for. Everything is transparent which means that people feel responsible e.g. about food as they know its producers, distributors and preparers. Living spaces are built based on peoples’ needs and people actively participate in decision making within their local area.
- 21. How We Got Here? In 2015 we have best practices as niche lifestyles that form ground for mainstream behavior later on: time banks, urban farming etc. Decade later these earlier “hobbies” form ground for the rise of empathy after the great collapse. During 2017 the price of cereal rise 4-fold within six months. The chain of resource crises starts. Global economic system collapses in 2025: constant financial crises turns out to be the perfect storm that lets people see local possibilities that are already there. Rise of Empathy World Cup for footballing cities is held for the first time in 2031 in celebration of the rise municipalities as the driver of sustainable lifestyles. Each city has its own specific playing style. In comparison to 2020, happiness in 2040 Europe-wide has risen while hours spent working for necessities drops. In 2042 the concept of supermunicipalities emerges: cities that produce their own food and energy and consist of multiple different living environments in which resources are recycled.
- 22. KEY QUESTIONS? How has the division of labour evolved? How is value built in 2050? How to overcome the tragedy of the commons? How can we combine efficiency with human-centrism? What makes the rise of empathy possible after the great economic collapse in 2025?
