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."

Umanità

To tell the truth, I do not see a rosy future I would like that apart from the enormous advance of technology social networks disappear and we return to human relationships without idols to reach impossible and without living exclusively for the image, for the opinion of others and for money. I'd like some humanity back.

Un futuro sostenibile

In 2040 I would like a completely sustainable world, with renewable energy, green cities and green transport. Technology would improve life without harming the environment, ensuring well-being and more free time. Climate change would be under control and people would live in harmony with nature.

Hopefully someone will read it and take action. There is an urgent need to solve the housing problem. Creating a family is practically impossible if you have to be in a rented apartment at a high cost, from which the owner of the apartment with a small child can throw you out sometimes grazing him. It is no wonder that there is a decline in fertility in the EU and in lust if young families do not have a basic condition for creating families. Social security. No one asks you how much money you give a month for rent, and you don't get a loan at the bank, which installment would be less than what I'm paying for renting now. Where is the logic here? No wonder people emigrate from their countries to countries where conditions are better. There is no security either, these refugees, whom you say are doctors and engineers, and in fact ordinary monkeys are incapable of adapting to the civilization we have here. They are dangerous, endangering girls, children and senior citizens. You better pay the workers who do the ordinary work well, but there will be enough labour in the EU. On the other hand, we give ourselves a social contribution, beautiful apartments, while we Slovenes by nationality Europeans have to literally mantra to get a rented apartment.. nonsense. Let Europe take care of its people, you will not solve the migration problem in the EU, you can only solve it at its origin! Thank you.

I would like to see an environmentally friendly world where the economy is more evenly distributed between people, where we take care of the environment and animals and have environmentally friendly technology and development. We have a democratic policy that can work together despite ideologies. We are more self-sufficient and don't need to import that much anymore. Domestic sustainable production is favoured. We have a shorter work week and we live a more sustainable life. We eat less with meat and have free healthcare including dental care and optics. We have lower rates of sick leave because of this. We value other influencers, fillers and cosmetics. We have a balance between birth rate and death rate. We invest in research, inventions and industry that lead to sustainability. We invest in preventive measures to avoid crime and war. We work in collaboration in many areas to cope with all of the above. We also work to prevent corruption.
