Futurologists from the University of Oslo in Norway and the Peace Research Institute Oslo have predicted that global conflict will halve in the next 40 years.

I guess "futurologists" don't consider it beneficial to look at history as a guide. How about, "The War to End All Wars". That worked out well, not.

The number of wars, and deaths from wars (particularly per population) has been steadily declining for decades already.

An individual human being on Earth has less chance of dying violently today than at any point in human history.
