What's next after climate change?
I'm quite curious of what would be the next big issue if all demands are met regarding climate change.
In an alternate universe where all climate change demands are met, what do you think their next issue would be?

When you write "demands are met", does "demands" refer to the requirements of the Earth's ecosystems, or the requests of the people who want to prevent climate change - and if so, which of the people?
It's looking like it will take a few hundred years to meet the ecosystem demands. I can't pretend to see that far in the future.
But, suppose we went back in time 20 years in an alternative reality where Al Gore and a Green Congress were able to push through major structural changes to remove the climate change threat.
We would still be looking at inequality of power both monetarily - Gates' wealth and that of a small number of other billionaires has given them a a horrendous and non-democratic ability to change the US educational system, and the overall result has been negative - and due to racism - we are still suffering from the effects of colonialism, slavery, and racial segregation and discrimination.
Thing is, I believe the inequality of power has helped lead to climate change, so if climate change is somehow fixed then perhaps those inequality issues must also have been addressed.
