we came close to disaster but escaped it. Maybe it took the scare to push us to do something. in the 15 years from 2025 to 2040 we realized that the future is not just an abstract idea that someone else will take care of. Sure, things are not perfect, but eventually an agreement was reached among nations to reduce the emissions that are harming the planet. A new consciousness has spread. On the streets, internal combustion cars are increasingly rare, replaced by electric motors or often even bicycles. Technology has moved on but it has also become simpler, with a taste for the essential that was not there in the past so overflowing with frills and driven consumerism.
Studies show that global warming is coming under control. The damage has been there and new damage will still be there before the end, but work is being done and successes are being seen.
Even in politics having come close to a new world war brought us closer together, first with suspicion, still fearful that this or that other nation was waiting for just the slightest opening for a new attack but then forging bonds. Only 15 years have passed, sure, the process is still in its infancy, but it is well under way.
It is not a perfect world. But it is a better world that is improving

Freiheit

I want to live in a future where there is no more dictation from above, where I can freely say what I think without fear. It's peaceful on the streets, there are no concrete blocks at our Christmas markets and our countries are once again mainly inhabited by locals. Guests are always welcome, we swap stories and talk about each other's culture. Then we go back to our home countries and tell them about it. We are all friends. Nature is growing and flourishing. There is no longer a CO2 tax, as CO2 is necessary for plants to grow. The air is clean. There are no more wind turbines killing our birds and the populations have recovered. An eagle is circling above again. Chemtrails no longer exist and those responsible for this manipulation have been brought to justice. Schools and universities are once again places of learning and wisdom and not corporate hives of interest. There is peace around us and within us.

Préservation du bien vivre

It's hard to imagine the future with all the advances in technology, which have both positive and negative points. I'm thinking more about the future in terms of nature. I'd like to see nature, especially flora and fauna, protected, and for people to stop consuming at will and doing anything with waste and, above all, over-consumption. We have to move with the times, of course, but growing our own fruit and vegetables is an important way of knowing exactly what we're eating, and a way of sharing and exchanging when there's too much production. Tynis houses are interesting and economical, and I think they'll evolve over time.

Frieden und gutes Klima

A world without despots and idiots in power, worldwide. We have achieved the climate targets and things are green and blooming everywhere. The economy is also flourishing and global trade and change are functioning smoothly. The wars have ended and the global community has become sensible. People are concerned about important social issues and not about taking over other countries.

Zaļā un inovatīvā kopiena

I imagine that by 2040 Europe will have become a model of sustainable development, where technology and nature coexist harmoniously. Cities will be green and energy efficient, every building will have solar panels and vertical gardens. Public transport will be fully electric and emission-free, and citizens will travel by autonomous vehicles or bicycles. People will be actively involved in decision-making through smart city technologies and e-democracy tools.
