Mobility in Europe in 2040 will be significantly more sustainable, smarter and more efficient. Electric vehicles will replace combustion engines, while hydrogen technologies will dominate freight and public transport. High-speed trains and hyperloops will replace short flights between cities, significantly reducing travel times and emissions, while autonomous vehicles and intelligent transport systems will make movement smoother in cities and on motorways. Traffic lights, car parks and public transport will be linked to digital infrastructure, ensuring efficient real-time traffic management. Shared mobility, such as autonomous taxis and electric scooters, will reduce the number of private cars.Overall, transport will be greener, faster and tailored to the needs of citizens. Smart cities will support the shift to sustainable forms of transport and improve quality of life across Europe.

After the alliance in 2025 between Trump's United States and Putin's Russia, European states have finally realized the importance of acting as a true confederation even in the most concrete areas. In energy policies, movement of goods and people and even in defense and mutual aid. Unity is strength and now we again have an important place corroborated also by the added numbers that give us different weight in all areas, both in environmental policies aimed at the care and conservation of the planet with solutions that are economically sustainable. Preserving cultural differences and taking and pooling technical and technological knowledge for the good of all Europeans.

In 2040, I hope to have aged gently and be able to spend a relaxed retirement with friends. Elderly care will be better, people will be able to meet face to face and the futility of digitalisation will have been forgotten. Welfare and health care are in order, with care available wherever you want it. No one is left alone. Less money is spent on war and much more on people's well-being. Income is more evenly distributed and there is less corruption everywhere. Europe is at peace and the Cold War is just a sad memory. Nature is still reasonably well and climate change has not advanced at a huge rate.

I would like to see a future where there is a safe public space, where there are no lunatics with knives on the streets killing innocent people. I wish that drug addicts and aggressors would be punished severely for their actions and hurting their victims and that our laws would not protect criminals and juveniles. Let criminal liability be reduced and let there be harsh laws and punishments for criminals of violent crimes. Let there be respect, deference and warmth among the people.
