French term or phrase: à terme
Buenas tardes.

¿La expresión "à terme" podría traducirse como "en un futuro"? Me aparece ese término varias veces en un texto que estoy traduciendo y no sé si es ese el significado del mismo. Os dejo algunas oraciones en las que aparece:

"La stabilisation est-elle envisageable à terme?"

"C’est là que l’accroissement de population sera le plus important au cours de ce siècle, même si la limitation volontaire des naissances devrait s’y généraliser à terme comme partout ailleurs"

"La vraie question, celle dont dépend la survie de l’espèce humaine à terme, est finalement moins celle du nombre des humains que celle de leur mode de vie"

Muchas gracias por su ayuda.
