The changing global environment will have a large impact on the social groups of 2042. Climate change, environmental degradation, and natural disasters will have caused many people to relocate and form new communities as they search for habitable areas. This will lead to different social groupings with vastly different experiences and backgrounds. Additionally, the increasing scarcity of resources due to climate change will lead to issues of inequality and may create new social groups based on access to resources.
