El anillo verde

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

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.

Das Jahr 2040
The year is 2040 and we live in a time when people have understood that war is not a solution. After the USA and China have proven to the world that they have power, peace reigns. Unfortunately, people can no longer live everywhere without problems due to weather disasters. There are more and more periods of heat and therefore drought. The world is constantly changing.

vivre simplement
In 2040, I'd like us to still be able to live in nature, to still be present, to still be in good health. I'd like my family to be able to continue to live in complete freedom, to maintain the French traditions that we hold so dear, to preserve the heritage that has made our country what it is, and for everyone to be able to live together in complete safety.

Grünes Utopia
In 2040, we will have managed to live sustainably and ecologically without exploiting nature any further. Damaging the environment leads to very high penalties. People have finally realized that humans, animals and the environment only work together - not separately. This is why nature and animal protection has become so important. Animal products are now only consumed and produced in exceptional cases. Animal rights have taken on a high priority. We have also come a long way in terms of technology, so that there are almost no private vehicles any more, but you can get to your destination quickly and easily with car sharing or public transport. Consumption has changed drastically and it is no longer about "more, more, more" and Provit, but about long-lasting, sustainable, social products that are good for everyone. There are awards for companies that act in a particularly honest, socially and environmentally responsible way. People are much healthier and happier. There is more cohesion and cultural exchange.
