The year is 2040, and I wake up in a smart home that adjusts the temperature to my needs and gets its energy solely from the sun and wind. I step out onto the balcony-the city is bustling, but there are no traffic jams or engine noise. Public transportation is fully autonomous and free, and most people get around on bicycles or electric scooters.
The biggest change has been in the labor and education system. The four-day work week has become the norm, improving mental health and social relations. Schools have undergone a transformation-instead of rigid programs, students develop skills through practice and projects, learning in virtual labs.
The environment is now a priority. Every city has extensive green spaces, and plastic waste has disappeared thanks to new biodegradable materials. Society has become more conscious-people live slower but more fully, taking care of each other and the planet. This is the future I want to see.

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.
