El anillo verde

In 2040, Europe is a model of technology, sustainability and social inclusion. Cities shine with automated public transport and clean energy, while drones manage shipments and security. Smart buildings recycle energy effectively and efficiently.

With universal basic income, people spend time on creative and community activities. This reduces stress due to questions such as; Will I arrive with my salary at the end of the month?, Can I afford a whim this month?,...

In social groups, people exchange ideas and learn together. The "Green Ring" of vertical forests purifies the air and guarantees fresh food. Physical borders are replaced by a network of cultural cooperation, and armies are focused on combating climate disasters.

A future with a lot of efficient technology; sustainable education over time for all social classes; in addition to the extinction of the largest pandemic in our world, hunger and the scarcity of hygienic resources.

DRUGACNOST
I am now living in 2040 and my children are facing a very different world. All lessons are only half an hour. All lessons are done behind computers and strange electronics. The weather has also got better, it very rarely rains and snow falls in abundance during the winter. The climate is controlled by us humans. We have also got medicines for almost everything (cancer, covid). The world has changed completely

Le retour de la sérénité
Given the current geo-political situation, I'd like our world to be at peace, less polluted, and for everyone to be able to live in harmony and on their own terms, for life to be peaceful and for the products needed for everyday life to be accessible to all. I hope that the world of politics and trade unions will at last be serious, balanced, respectful of everyone and listen to them with respect.

Des nouveaux isolants
In 2040, I'd like to see housing and dwellings upgraded to cope with climate change. To do this, we'd have to invent (if we haven't already done so) special exterior insulation that would protect against both heat and cold. Living conditions would really improve, and everyone would be able to live better and cope with extreme temperatures.

De la solidarité sociale à l'intelligence par l'investissement et le travail
The French, our politicians and European partner states are trying to correct the problems they have created by multiplying standards and administrative constraints, allowing distorted competitive trade and uncontrolled immigration. In 2040, competition is free and undistorted, in the sense that our companies are protected from European and international competition. Our Western values are defended tooth and nail. Priority urban neighborhoods no longer exist, because we've broken the all-social business. Local employment is preserved, and the social and political climate is calmer. Society is egalitarian because it is based on investment and work, not social debt.
