I will be celebrating 2040 in 15 years. It's not a very distant prospect. I would like to be able to move between cities and between countries at a faster speed, in modern and comfortable means of transport. I imagine the centers of large cities closed to vehicular traffic and in the urban tissue definitely more greenery. Turned into green rest zones and supplied with spring drinking water, the existing tram and bus stops would give shelter and bring people closer together. Citizen police patrols on bicycles/horses would take care of the order in the city. Unified [colour] electric transport would carry passengers to selected places. The number of grocery stores where products from farmers/breeders in the region would be available would be limited. Medical clinics and offices would be abolished. Health would be cared for by a selected medical caregiver together with a doctor. Official matters would be dealt with remotely.

BETTER LIFE
One vision I have for 2040 is a world where clean energy has fully replaced fossil fuels. In this future, renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and fusion power provide abundant, affordable electricity to everyone. Cities are designed to be energy-efficient, with smart grids that optimize power usage and storage. Electric transportation dominates—cars, buses, and even airplanes run on sustainable energy, eliminating carbon emissions. Climate change is no longer a looming disaster because global temperatures have stabilized, and ecosystems are recovering from centuries of damage.In this world, energy is no longer a source of conflict but a shared resource that supports innovation, economic equality, and a cleaner planet.

Suburbs home
We see the future as a place where I will have to work longer until retirement. I plan to move to the countryside because the cost of living in the city is too high, and the quality of life in the countryside is better. The environment will deteriorate due to global warming, and the prices of food and fertile land will be even higher. Europe must develop a common military security system because threats to its survival will come from both the east and the west.

Finally succeeded
In 2040 scientists and clever people could successfully stop the climate change. People have realized that everyone needs to make a few sacrifices, and they are all proud of the outcome. Thanks to a more sensible school system, they are well-informed and make the right choices regarding nutrition, shopping, and the consumption of general resources in order to keep our planet livable.

Mobility has changed fundamentally. Nobody owns a car. There are small airplanes for everyone that fly well over 5 Mach and are powered by green electricity. Energy is only generated naturally. There is no more combustion, not even in houses and apartments for heating. We all live longer, the air is better, the food is better anyway. This rapid mobility means that humanity is growing together even faster. We are constantly in the most amazing places with the most amazing people. Hate and wars no longer exist either.
