The sun is slowly rising above Europe’s unified energy network, which supplies the continent with clean and sustainable energy by 2050. Līga wakes up in her smart home in Riga, where the walls adapt to the temperature, while the windows filter the sun's rays to optimize natural lighting. A personalised diet plan tailored to her health data, connected to the European Health Network, awaits her in the kitchen.

The road to work is no longer stressful: self-driving, energy-efficient public transport vehicles transport people with zero emissions to the nearest second. Urban centres are green, they are no longer busy with traditional cars, and people prefer bicycles or autonomous capsule transport. Air pollution in Europe has almost disappeared thanks to air purification technologies and nature-friendly infrastructure.

Between 2025 and 2050, Europe underwent a major transformation. The climate crisis has made countries work more closely together than ever before. After 2035, when fossil fuels were completely banned, innovations developed rapidly, generating surplus energy and thus a new economic model in which resources are redistributed more efficiently and fairly. The introduction of universal basic income in 2040 allowed people to devote more time to creative and socially useful activities.

Līga works as a digital historian – her task is to document and analyse the development of society, so that future generations can learn from past mistakes and achieve even higher goals. She believes that 2050 is just the beginning of an even brighter future.

Naturen er reddet

You have invented a technology that effectively breaks down CO2 from the atmosphere and you are back to a world without climate change. The gardens are healthy with beautiful coral reefs and full of fish. In the North there is winter with long periods of snow. Farther south in Europe there are rarer forest fires and normal amounts of rain that give good breeding. There are no climate refugees. They appreciate nature more and seek it out often. Animal welfare is also an important focus area and you eat less meat. Smartphones and computers are used less often, and you are less accessible by phone/mail both privately and at work.

Podróże w czasie

In 2040, the world looked very different than it did twenty years ago. Poland has become a peaceful, safe and united country around common values. The streets were clean, the cities well organized, and people lived in harmony, valuing their traditions and culture. There was an atmosphere of tranquility in the towns, with children playing in the backyards without fear, the elderly walking in the parks, and the neighbours knowing each other and helping each other in their daily lives. Local communities thrived and small family businesses thrived, supported by modern technologies and a conscious approach to the economy. There were no problems with crime or riots. The authorities have made sure that the country develops in a sustainable and safe way. Young people had good prospects – they could educate themselves at a high level, develop their passions and be sure that they would find a decent job. Thanks to a wise economic policy, Poland became self-sufficient – agriculture flourished, domestic companies produced modern technologies, and people enjoyed stability and prosperity. Society was united, proud of its history and ready to build the future in accordance with its own values. In the evening, sitting on the terrace of his house, John looked at the quiet streets and felt gratitude. He knew that his children were growing up in a world where they could feel safe, respect their roots and build a better future for generations to come.

Au réveil, les machines préparent le petit déjeuner que j'ai l'habitude de prendre (café, pain grillé et un fruit). Mes vêtements sont prêts et se mettent automatiquement sur moi. Je prends des transports en commun qui vont vite, vole et permettent d'arriver rapidement sur son lieu de travail. Ce n'est pas très durable mais c'est pratique. Le vélo est devenu une activité en perte de vitesse car c'est moins rapide. La société va toujours plus vite. Tout est informatisé et ne permet pas d'avoir trop d'interaction sociale et c'est un bat qui blesse. Pour la vie de famille, cela reste tous ensemble dans la même maison mais cela ne permet pas vraiment de se croire en famille car chacun est plus isolé devant un appareil électrique qui occupe son temps libre

Unsere Hoffnung

There is no more war in Europe. The states have agreed well and respect each other and the borders. All European countries are in the European Union and manage it jointly and consensually. There are no political or economic dependencies on other states. This is where agreements come in. Poverty and homelessness are exceptional. Anyone can call for help. Migration is not a negative issue because people and their workforce are welcome. However, people who have become criminals are expelled and must return to their home country. Climate change continues to be a big issue, but work is underway around the world to make a difference. Resources are protected and protected. Recycling is normal.
