In the year 2050, Mia woke up in a world she could hardly have imagined 25 years earlier. Her house, a self-sustaining ecosystem made from recycled materials, greeted her with a gentle voice: "Good morning, Mia. The air quality is optimal and your breakfast is ready."

The world had undergone enormous changes since the 2030s. Climate change, once a global threat, had been curbed by radical measures. Cities were now green oases, with vertical forests covering the skyscrapers. Energy was generated almost exclusively from renewable sources and fossil fuels were a thing of the past.

Mia walked the streets where drones quietly delivered parcels while autonomous vehicles passed silently by. Thanks to groundbreaking medical advances, life expectancy had soared and diseases such as cancer were almost eradicated through preventative gene therapies.

The world was not perfect, but people had learned to share their resources and live more sustainably. Hope and progress were the new constants of humanity.

Optimisme

A better future would be one in which we stop fighting or getting worked up over things that aren't important, and wars of "religion" no longer exist. We'd take care of the earth and stop polluting it. On a more personal note, my daughters would have finished their studies and have a job in which they're fulfilled, they'd have a family life that they want and that they don't feel "trapped" in. In short, they'd be happy to discover the world without fear of their fellow man or of a natural disaster, and they'd travel to discover a world unpolluted by mass tourism. I'd be close to retirement, so I hope I'd still be able to enjoy my family and the free time I'd have. And everyone would be in good health.

Svetla prihodnost polna optimizma

I want a diocratic europe without neo-Nazis, without people who want power not for money but to make a difference. I want to see as much connection to public transport as possible, as few cars as possible in city centres. I want the protests to be repeated, so that Slovenia can finally get rid of Janez Jansa. That we succeed in limiting global warming. That it is easier for young people to get their first jobs and to get housing.

Continuing the trend of "all for nature conservation and animal welfare". The official line is to tackle climate change, which is the culprit for all changes, good and bad, that really have nothing to do with it. Local communities realise that cooperation is better than competition, but they don't know what that really means. What happens at global level is transferred to local level and the trends are expected to be the same - warming everywhere, weather extremes everywhere - which is not really the case. Instead of warming, it is colder, because there is the effect of 'cold water coming out of the radiator', which cools everything down.

In 2040, I think Europe has a stronger economy and is no longer seen as a continent stuck in the past. More jobs, less crime, less unnecessary immigration and a strong common belief that Europe can handle problems together and not rely on the US to support it all the time. I think we need to have a common defense budget and not make too many laws that make the work difficult for the member states. Environmental work should continue and the continent should take steps to catch up in technology development and not rely on Asia or America.
