langfristigere

Langfristigere is the comparative form of the German adjective langfristig, meaning more long-term or extending further into the future. It is used to compare time horizons, plans, or outcomes that reach further into the future than another reference point.

As an attributive adjective, langfristigere typically precedes a noun and is chosen to express a greater long-term orientation. Common collocations include langfristigere Ziele (more long-term goals), langfristigere Investitionen (more long-term investments), and langfristigere Strategien (more long-term strategies). The exact spelling and ending depend on the grammatical context, such as case, number, and article.

In usage, the term appears across disciplines such as business, economics, urban planning, and public policy. It signals prioritization of outcomes that unfold over a longer period, often involving trade-offs with shorter-term considerations like immediate costs or quick gains. The concept is closely linked to long-term planning, sustainability, resilience, and risk management, where the emphasis is on stability and future impacts rather than short-term performance.

Examples:

- Die langfristigere Planung erfordert oft höhere Anfangsinvestitionen, zielt aber auf stabilere Renditen in der Zukunft.

- Unternehmen setzen vermehrt auf langfristigere Investitionen in Forschung, Bildung und Infrastruktur.

- Politische Strategien sollten eine langfristigere Perspektive einbeziehen, um Generationengerechtigkeit zu berücksichtigen.
