Several points. 1st, "A World Adrift" is an apt description of our current state. 2nd, In 2025, we've already hit a milestone for 2040! The foresight planners were clearly not imagining such rapid change/breakdown rates. 3rd, the remaining 15 more years leaves a lot of room for further collapse.

Tragedy and Mobilization
Tragedy and Mobilization. A global coalition, led by the EU and China working with NGOs and revitalized multilateral institutions, is implementing far-reaching changes designed to address climate change, resource depletion, and poverty following a global food catastrophe caused by climate events and environ- mental degradation. Richer countries shift to help poorer ones manage the crisis and then transition to low carbon econ- omies through broad aid pro- grams and transfers of advanced energy technologies.

Separate Silos
Separate Silos. The world is fragmented into several economic and security blocs of varying size and strength, centered on the United States, China, the EU, Russia, and a few region- al powers, and focused on self-sufficiency, resiliency, and defense. Information flows within separate cyber-sover- eign enclaves, supply chains are reoriented, and interna- tional trade is disrupted. Vul- nerable developing countries are caught in the middle.

Competitive Coexistence
The United States and China have prioritized economic growth and restored a robust trading relationship, but this economic interdependence exists alongside competition over political influence, gover- nance models, technological dominance, and strategic advantage. The risk of major war is low, and international cooperation and technolog- ical innovation make global problems manageable.

A World Adrift
A world Adrift. The international system is directionless, chaotic, and volatile as international rules and institutions are largely ignored. OECD countries are plagued by slower economic growth, widening societal di- visions, and political paralysis. China is taking advantage of the West’s troubles to expand its international influence. Many global challenges are unaddressed.

RENAISSANCE OF DEMOCRACIES The world is in the midst of a resurgence of open democracies led by the United States and its allies. Rapid technological advancements fostered by public-private partnerships in the United States and other democratic societies are transform- ing the global economy, raising incomes, and improving the quality of life for millions around the globe. In contrast, years of increasing societal controls and monitoring in China and Russia have stifled innovation.

Direct air capture is not currently viable strategy. Likely increases carbon pollution (more carbon energy required to than saved). See @mzjacobson.bsky.social's work: news.stanford.edu/stories/2019... & Joe Romm's review for our center (@penncssm.bsky.social): bpb-us-w2.wpmucdn.com/web.sas.upen...
Study casts doubt on carbon capture
Current approaches to carbon capture can increase air pollution and are not efficient at reducing carbon in the atmosphere, according to research from Mark Z. Jacobson.

“It’s not the natural state of America that we are polarized about climate change. It’s artificial, created by the billions in spending by the fossil fuel industry “ defending its $700 billion in subsidies.

“An industry will undertake all kinds of wickedness to defend a $700 billion subsidy”.
