In the year 2040, I hope above all that there will be peace all over the world and that we will act together for the benefit of humanity and nature and that all people and nations on earth will live together in peace and that there will be prosperity for all and that there will be as few armed conflicts as possible but that everyone will act together in diplomacy and wisdom. There will be no more internal combustion engines, only modern cars that move around with a kind of modern drive technology that works without internal combustion engines. In 2040, a lot of work will be done from home because it will no longer be necessary to go to work; instead, people will be able to do all the essential things from home and then spend the day with their families. In 2040, many things will be automated thanks to AI technology, which will have replaced the majority of human work by then so that people can devote themselves to their hobbies or other private wishes. Everyday life will be characterized above all by AI, but in the end humans will still be in control, checking and ensuring that everything runs smoothly. In the year 2040, mankind has succeeded in pushing back climate change as far as possible, partly due to the use of new AI technologies and, of course, with the help of modern protection systems, which above all protect natural landscapes and the oceans. There is absolutely no more plastic - everything is transported in special containers made of plant fibers or wood, for example, or eaten and drunk from them. There are also no more books, everything takes place in the digital world, so that paper can also be saved. More fruit and vegetables are grown and eaten and less meat. In the care sector, there are now modern home robots that support people in caring for the elderly throughout the day. In addition, cars no longer drive on the road below but move in the air above and fly around like spaceships. Mankind has also recognized the danger of nuclear weapons and has already begun to scrap all nuclear weapons on earth. In 2040, there will therefore only be a small number of nuclear weapons left, but they will no longer be used. The oceans are now plastic-free again and there are enough fish in the sea again. In addition, all harmful chemicals that damage or pollute the environment are now banned all over the world. Women now have the same rights as men, earn just as much as men and hold high-ranking positions in business, politics and society. In medicine, too, it has been possible to treat and eliminate all diseases through the use of state-of-the-art AI technology. And as mentioned earlier, wars will no longer be fought in the future, i.e. in 2040, but conflicts will be resolved politically through diplomacy. In 2040, the climate has largely recovered and temperatures are reasonably pleasant and bearable.

It is very important to me that social issues are resolved and that I can draw a secure pension. The election results must be reflected in the majority of the population and there are no more right-wing parties like the AfD. People live happily and contentedly in their countries and there are no more wars, weapons and nuclear warheads are abolished and destroyed together.

In addition to peace in Europe and saving the climate, I want us to have stronger protection for dur. I envision a future where pets, wildlife and livestock are treated well throughout their life span. I see that with AI we have moved beyond the use of animals in experiments. As a fan of guinea pigs, I want modern knowledge on how to keep guinea pigs to be spread among the public so that these beautiful and friendly animals can thrive where they live. I want the unnecessary, commercial breeding of both guinea pigs and other animals to stop; we respect animals on the same level as humans and understand that animals have feelings and a social life just like us.

I would really like to see 2 improvements, changes. Firstly, i would really like for wars, aggression and violence to end. They don’t bring any good to any of us. History is repeating itself over and over again. All these horrible acts of violence are unnecessary, and it would only benefit the humanity if they stopped. The second thing is ecological wellbeing. It would be really amazing, if in these 15 years we could clean up at least a part of pollution that we(as humanity) have made. In that way we would be helping our planet and nature to regain it’s strength again and also making our surroundings cleaner, much more pleasant.

I would like us as the European Union to be representatives of a new mentality of living the world and with the world. Starting from taking responsibility against contemporary ethical and civic issues, overcoming utilitarianism and capitalist accumulation to give more importance to humanity and the natural world.
