One day in Europe in 2040

The sun is setting over Zagreb, or the castle will not sleep much longer. Trams run silently over the canal, using magnetic rails to carry passengers without bumping or starting. People walk along streets lined with solar lamps, and the air is fresh - something unmistakable in the past twenty years, when congestion and crowds still dominated European metropolises.

Start your day in a smart kitchen where artificial intelligence adjusts the temperature, prepares a delivery based on your food needs and books a hydrogen-powered self-driving taxi for your journey to business. I work at the European Institute for Climate Stabilisation, where my team oversees "climatic shields" - innovative satellites that regulate the Earth's temperature and reduce the effects of global warming.

While I am travelling, I am looking across the horizon and seeing how Europe has arrived at this point. In the wake of the energy crisis of 2025, the EU has invested huge resources in renewable energy sources. By 2035, fossil fuels will have been used up, and all buildings will have solar, wind, electricity and fusion energy only. Smart buildings are the standard, and new technologies allow for the regeneration of nature - unpaved motorways are replaced by urban gardens and noises that help to maintain ecological balance.

Thanks to quantum communication, information is transmitted instantaneously, without any hassle. Borders between countries are no longer a barrier - people travel freely thanks to unique digital identification and the EU's universal citizenship.

At the end of the day, I go to a futuristic restaurant where robot chefs prepare a meal from local, lab-grown sastojaka. The food is delicious, tasty and nutritionally adapted to each guest.

As I continue to cook through the park's draught of wood, which vaporises CO2 and converts it into pure oxygen, I feel proud. Europe 2040 is not only technologically advanced - it has become a sustainable, humane society where nature and people live in harmony.

With a smile on your face, think: "The future is brighter than we ever dreamed."

Positive briller

I hope all the war in Europe will be over and the situation has calmed down again. I hope Europe's economy flourishes and trade across national borders just flows. I also hope that a lot has happened in the field of renewable energy with solar cells, wind turbines and hydrogen cars. I hope that hydrogen has become well intertwined in Europe

Brezkompromisna

I want a world without wars and terrorism, but the reality is that there will be more and more of this. Digital literacy will be much more developed, as will artificial intelligence. Future generations will be more protective of their environment and nature, as it shows us our teeth over the years and will even more remind us by 2040 that we are destroying it too much. The poor will be poorer, the rich will be richer.

bezpieczna przystań

Well, as I imagine life in such a distant future, it must take another 15 years until 2040. I'll be you by the time I'm 70, as I imagine this life in 15 years. Well, I would like to build a large heating plant, of course ecological, which would use the energy of the sun and which would produce pr ad and heat for a small price. I would also like to see centers for the development of friendship and care, so that every person, regardless of age, can experience friendship. so that , children are taught in schools how to develop social competences, so that these important values, which were very much cared for by the kid, are returned, i.e. honesty, care, selflessness, empathy, so that people are good and friendly to each other. I also hope that Poland will fight for its position in Europe, and not, as we are now, a backwater, thanks to our politicians who have the interests of the country and the nation somewhere.

Friede, Freude, Eierkuchen

That there is peace in the world. It starts on the street that everyone treats everyone with respect. That there are no wars among the peoples. That we get climate change under control and not so much is destroyed by heat, drought and floods. That the economy is on the right track, that all people have good work and that they can afford everything and that prices do not rise to the bottomless.
