I live in collective housing provided by the state for its elderly and disabled inhabitants. My family lives nearby - and when I'm with my great-grandchildren, I talk about the troubling times I experienced in the hours and twenties before Europe put a lid on the US, Russia and China's tampering with world peace and the climate. When I go to other places I can't get to in my electric wheelchair, I can easily travel by public transportation that works throughout Europe. Air travel is almost totally abolished and the few airplanes that exist are powered by non-polluting and co2 consuming means. My husband is also still alive and well.

Electric vehicles have been abandoned. There are no more child laborers on the sites where the materials needed to make batteries are extracted. There's no more toxic waste from the end-of-life of these batteries. We're back to thermal engines, but using a vegetable fuel, to hydrogen engines, and to atomic fragmentation engines. As the earth revolves around the sun on an oval circuit, it is now on a point less close to the star, and climate change is less obvious. But fears of change have had some interesting effects. We're more attentive to environmental issues

Climate change was halted in 2040. There are fewer environmental catastrophes and a warning system and measures in the event of heavy rainfall, storms or heat. My grandchildren are careful with the earth's resources and feel like global citizens whose responsibility it is to protect nature around the world and not exploit it.

Today is January 1, 2040, there are no more wars in the world and all peoples live in peace. Borders have been eliminated in Europe, and the inhabitants cooperate on joint projects to improve the environment around them. Climate change has suspended its evolution, and the tragic episodes that characterized previous years have disappeared .

It would be just very nice if in the near future people could live together without selfishness and preconceptions.This would make it impossible to wage war because if what is mine is also yours there is no need to kill each other for more. There would also be no need to always focus on appearance because seeing the good in everyone would make sure that no one judged others, and conversely, no one would need to build walls to defend themselves from the malevolent gaze of others.

I wake up to a daylight lamp. I get ready for a job. I voluntarily chose the 5-day week when I could choose between a 4-day and a 3-day week. There is a lot of emphasis on freedom. I can choose and it's no problem to work more or less. I'm not doing it for the money, but because I'm still young and understand that my work is important. I became aware of my work, my actions and the contribution I make to society, to myself and to my fellow human beings at school. Expectations of self-efficacy were raised. Educational institutions have moved away from rigid math, German and English lessons. Sure - knowledge is taught, but above all values. Education is what sets us apart from the world in 2025. People of all kinds are accepted and respected. Open values are taught from kindergarten to university. The legal system has become very strict. Over 1000 euros are charged for speeding - I think that's good! This kind of paternalism protects us. So I go to work for my 8 hours, buy a slice of cake on the way home by public transport - expensive but delicious, I want to treat myself to this luxury - and drink coffee with my little family. Then I go to the gym. The health insurance companies and doctors have understood that sport is very important. I pay my club membership as a donation and my children's gym fees are almost entirely covered by the health insurance. After dinner, my older son returns from his community service. This is compulsory for everyone after school. Alternatively, you can choose to do a year's military service. There's no money for it, but lots of experience. But the young people don't mind, because they have been brought up and shaped in such a way that knowledge and experience are worth more than money.

I wish that politicians were more responsive to people. Unfortunately, that won't be the case. People will most likely be restricted in their values. The media will influence everyone and dictate everyone's opinion. The school system in Germany will get worse and worse and there will be more and more shortages of specialist staff. The reason for this is that they want to make people more emotional. And that only works with little knowledge and fear. And unfortunately this will continue until wealth takes precedence over human lives

I envision a world where cities have become green havens - smart, sustainable and friendly to all. There are no more traditional roads in the city centre - instead, there are floating cabs and self-driving bikes that run through green tunnels made of trees and climbing plants. Vertical farms on skyscrapers

Of all the periods in history, I've been lucky enough to live in the best in the best place. Born 5 years after World War II, I have seen development only go forward (almost) in a world without war in the part where I grew up and had my family, work and retirement life. I have been so lucky. I wish for my descendants to experience the same: that although the world order is forever different, that world leaders will succeed in following a path of greater understanding and insight into the world, and that they make sure to "turn the tables" before making crucial decisions with life-changing consequences for the people of the world. The task as it appears in this study is described far too narrowly. As a society today, we cannot take a narrow view of what is good for Denmark, because we are deeply dependent on what happens in the world around us. We must create common solutions on a global level for everything from technology and health to education and climate action. This will be crucial to ensure that we have a world that we in Denmark can see ourselves in in the future. At the moment, the road there seems long and bumpy.

I hope that politics will not interfere in the lives of individual citizens and affect their well-being by imposing rules that don't take reality into account. Living together must be nourished by proximity, far from breathless social networks with purely mercantile aims.

that there are no or fewer disasters, that there are no more unnecessary foreigners here, that prices are affordable, that pensioners can live without a subsidy and with some dignity and, above all, that I am still alive, that all good people remain healthy

In the year 2040, only my soul will still exist, because parts of humanity from the year 2025, namely Israel, Russia and the USA, have destroyed most of the earth with their nuclear missiles and life is no longer possible on earth... Some of the politicians of that time live in bunkers 50 meters below the earth's surface... .... May God make them all barren and let them burn in hell. My soul has flown across the universe to another planet in another constellation. This planet is called PEACE..... and it looks similar there to Earth before the nuclear war...There are palm trees, the sea, beaches, fish, animals and the souls are currently in the process of creating a new planet for peaceful people. All people are equal, there is no faith and no politics....In the brains of the new peaceful people, the cells that create war and discord have completely atrophied....I will write another time if you are interested in how my soul will develop on the new planet.
