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."

Nejasná budoucnost, která může být pozitivní, ale museli by ji vzít lidé do vlastních rukou a použít rozum

The future of Europe is very unclear to me. I imagine it could be very positive, but it would mean that people would take their minds into their hands and start using them. They will overthrow the current leadership and start to think logically and start to care more at the national level. It is impossible for anyone to constantly dictate nonsensical rules to us. Nowadays, we have a plethora of new fantastic technologies that would be useful to use and develop. We need to fight sustainability, teach people to save energy, better sort waste, and produce less. It is necessary to ensure the health of people - to expand education in the care of their own health, to involve modern technology, but still to preserve the privacy of people as such and to provide them with a dignified life, which is decided by themselves, not by the government or other state institutions. The tax burden needs to be reduced and the state needs to be slimmed down. It is also necessary to fight migration, deport inadaptable individuals and ensure order, cooperate on peaceful solutions. In conclusion, I don't trust people anymore, so it's all just an illusion and we are more likely to have a period of decline and problems.
