One day in Europe in 2050
In the morning, the sunlight slowly filtered through my window. The streets of Budapest were silent as self-driving electric vehicles glided silently over the green plant-strewn roads. The energy came entirely from renewable sources, with houses powered by their own solar panels and wind turbines.
In the last twenty-five years, Europe has been radically transformed. The fight against the climate crisis has been a success: industry has gone green, cities have been managed by smart systems that have reduced waste and optimised resource use.

Several actions taken - by local communities, governments globally, schools and universities, corporations and myself and my colleagues - have determined the change in the global warming landscape for the better.
The actions are implemented and mapped and are maintained in periodic execution according to plan.
Floods, storms, landslides, excess rain and drought minimized monitored and minimized.
I care about our quality of life. I believe that we have drifted away from our human nature and consequently from nature/environment, which - let us not forget - we are its species. This of course has an impact on many things and first of all on health. I would like to see human-centred policies implemented in all aspects of everyday citizenship. To put people, their mental health, their personal progress and flourishing first. To pay attention to how satisfied (and why not, happy) people feel about their lives. What really matters to them?
