How would the world change if re-incarnation was proven to be real?

Not much. People are pretty good at denying shit that's proven to be true.
In the best case scenario, the whole world would be unified and in harmony, leading to the true next Age/phase for the human population.
In the worst case, soon dismissed and oppressed. As if nothing had happened.
Then again, who's to say this has not already happened?
on a personal level
i like the idea of giving my future incarnations super special hints
or more broadly you could try to groom future qts for future you with big-legacy-achievements (i mean that's kind of what people do anyway without the promise of experiencing the fruits of the labor personally in reincarnations)
so if there is a proof of this reincarnation idea, you might get a lot of people thinking on these wavelengths - "damn if i have to actually be back on this planet i better try to actually be serious about keeping things good and maybe make them nicer"

If we all know that doing a good deed would help ourselves a lot in the next life, then we would start to only do them for selfish reasons (get better life in future), and then they wouldn't really be good deeds would they.

If there's an explanation of how it works then people would probably try to make money off of it.

A good action is never a selfish action, people who only work in their own self-interest are just lucky that cosmic justice isn't actually real.

Just because you accidentally save the world on your failed attempt to blow up an orphanage doesn't mean you're any less of a shitty person.
