By 2040, I envision a world where the fight against climate change has been successful. Fossil fuels have been replaced by clean energy, with smart grids and advanced batteries providing the energy supply. Transport is electric and autonomous, cities are dominated by green roofs and self-sustaining buildings.

Agriculture is sustainable, with vertical farms and precision technologies reducing environmental pressures. Healthcare is preventive and personalised, with artificial intelligence helping to detect diseases early.

Work and education are digitised, with access to knowledge and opportunities for all. Automation does not take away work, but creates more creative, human-centred occupations. We live in a cleaner, fairer and more liveable world where technology and nature work in harmony.
