What this site is, and is not.

welcometo2050.com is an editorial almanac that summarizes institutional forecasts for 2050. It is not financial, medical or legal advice.

Scenario-dependence

IPCC and IEA numbers are scenario-dependent. SSP1-1.9 and SSP5-8.5 produce very different 2050 outcomes; mixing the two is misleading. Every numerical claim on this site carries an explicit scenario tag.

YMYL notice (health and finance)

The Longevity and Economy pillars touch on health and financial topics respectively. Nothing on this site constitutes medical or financial advice. Consult a qualified clinician or financial professional for decisions in those domains.

No personal predictions

The editorial voice is institutional. We do not publish personal predictions. Where authors of cited sources have made predictions outside their institution\'s scope, we say so.

Source updates

Major sources update on multi-year cycles. UN WPP revises every 2 to 3 years. IPCC AR cycles span several years. IEA WEO is annual. BNEF NEO is annual. We track these and revise pillars accordingly.

Corrections

Editorial corrections are made transparently; the "last revised" date at the top of each pillar reflects the most recent change.
