The year is 2040 and Europe is a very different place. Instead of crowded roads, castles have become silent and peaceful marvels of technology. Self-driving and autonomous vehicles drive us through green castles, but the air is clean. Renewable sources of energy are rapidly replacing fossil fuels, making the continent self-sustaining. Each building has its own solar-energy grid, and the windows are smart, automatically adjustable depending on the world and weather conditions.

By 2025, there will be a major economic and ecological leap forward. European countries are fighting against climate change, raising standards for sustainability and technology. Greater investment in education has enabled new innovations in medicine, healthcare and display systems. By reducing CO2 emissions, buildings have become areas where people live in balance with nature.

Wanderings are a set of trends in enjoyment. With virtual reality technology, you can visit all corners of the world without leaving your home. But, at the same time, personal relationships have become easier, with digital platforms that allow instant communication with anyone, anywhere.

The future is coming, and we are its creators.

De-escalation and Cooperation

Vladimir Putin died in 2025, ending years of dictatorship, censorship, and overblown ideas of Russian power. After a fair and transparent election, a progressive politician comes to power, and the old regime falls away with the reactionaries. In the 15 years following, Russia has become an economic powerhouse and has international cooperation as its focus. With a stable government, it is not a military threat to Europe, China, or indeed, any other country. This has inspired other regions in Asia and the Middle East to scale back aggressive behaviours, especially regarding disputed territories. Israel has relocated its citizens to new builds, and negotiations are being held to establish an independent Palestinian state. Hamas has become a political organisation and has renounced its militant ways. Israel has also started making amends to the Palestinian people, but this is a long and ongoing process. The US has become the old guard. It is still a place of dreams and technology, but after the economic crash of 2026, the American people are tired of the pursuit of more and more. The slow life is now the lifestyle trend.

Self sufficiently Green.

In 2040 all dwelling places are sold with a small growing space where people grow some if their own food. In addition all new apartments are linked to a communal growing space that has a polytunnel for growing tomatoes, courgettes, beans. In 2040 there is no more factory farming and most of the population are vegan. Animal welfare has become an important topic and people have realised that a plant based diet is the most healthy way to live. Membership of these food growing allotment spaces is free and as public transport is now free, there is no barrier to access them. Because of catastrophic climate events, people now realise the importance of food security and self sufficiency. They have voted for parties that promote green living and animal and planet care.

Ma vision du future

I'd like the future to be conducive to change and for us to put more projects in place to safeguard flora and fauna. I'd like this future to be less polluting by introducing new renewable energies. A future in which violence and war are reduced thanks to agreements between countries.

Krieg und Frieden auf der Erde

I wish for peace on earth. Wars are terrible and cost human lives, everything is destroyed and people have to flee. People must all be able to live in peace, the money spent on wars can be better spent elsewhere. A third world war would be glorifying, millions of people would have to flee or will die. I myself have never experienced war in my country, but my parents and grandparents have told me about war. I want to hope that there will be peace on earth in 2040, but there should also be peace by 2040. My wish for 2040 is to have a carefree life and to be able to live well in my country.
