In 2045, Climate change might result in a shift of national identity. Britain's long-standing view of being a "civilizing entity" in the world. Being in the top 10 of the world's major economies, the UK has been one of the driving industrial nations of climate change. Will we own up to that responsibility? Is this idea of a "civilizing entity" outdated? Can we still assert that influence when our influence is decreasing in the next few years compared to other world economies? Do we need to rethink national identity based on new values that leave almost ancient colonial ideas behind?
