For a better sustainable governance in Europe and in the World

In 2040, the world will be a completely different place: climate change and biodiversity loss will have huge consequences on the societies in "third world countries", but also in industrialized countries with higher standard of living. Droughts, the rising of sea levels and forests fires will have a major impact on the world's GDP. This is why the United Nations will decide to suggest an upheaval of its climate governance: the outcomes of the Conference of the Parties (COPs) based on the UNFCCC will be binding. The IPCC will have a bigger role of advisors. The International Monetary Funds (IMF) will be turned into a "climate bank" on the model of the European Investment Bank and will lend money to countries which suffer the most from climate change. This money will tackle asymmetric schocks and will be used for climate change mitigation projects. Finally, all the major UN agencies, like the World Trade Organization, will work closer together to abide by the UN sustainability goals.

In Europe, a more integrated Europe will be a leader on the world stage to underpin this new climate governance. The European Green Deal will enable the EU to turn its economy into a greener one with very high value added. Thanks to comprehensive policies related to the development of renewable energies, energy efficiency and mitigation of greenhouse gases, the objective of climate neutrality is within reach by 2050. A European government with a stronger European Parliament will a have a decisive say on the global climate governance and will push for more ambitious policies throughout the world. The possibility of imposing sanctions to countries which don't respect the principles of the climate governance.

Those massive changes would have never happened without the huge mobilization of the civil society all around the world, not only in Europe and North America, but also in mediatically less exposed countries in Africa, Asia, and Oceania.

The collaps of Green Deal economy saves the Nature and European civilization

After huge pressure from un-corrupted scientists, reasonable environment protection groups and indigenous people of EU, EU leaders realized in 2025 that the construction of huge wind generators and solar parks at the expense of wildlife destruction is not sustainable and stopped this industrial scale activity. Only small (and low) wind generators and solar parks directly near the point of consumption are allowed, as particularly great destruction of nature resulted not only from the parks themselves, but also from the construction of new power lines to the scattered wind and solar parks in the natural landscape. Immigration has stopped, as there is not enough energy to heat living quarters and people from warmer parts of the world prefer North Africa to Europe. Additionally, as EU economy collapsed in 2028 due to wrong energy policies, there is no resources to offer social aid for immigrants who do not work. Without social aid money and worm living space there is no incentive to move to Europe. Declining population and real nature protection, with small local energy production from wind, solar, hydro and biogas from waste, cities are declining and rural population is growing. Cities did not have enough place to produce enough energy and so people started to move to smaller towns.The environment is gradually recovering from the damages caused to it by the green turn, food is healthier and produced 90% locally. World wide transportation is so expensive that only very rich can allow to eat bananas and drink coffee.

El futuro es poder vivir el pasado

My future is in freedom. We will be able to enjoy again a campfire under the stars, next to a river with crystal clear water, without artificial clouds in the sky and under a tent where besides the sound of water we will be able to listen to the richness of the forest with its variety of sounds, a woodpecker, a blackbird, the wind sliding through the leaves... And when we wake up and go outside the day will be beautiful, with a warm early morning sun and the vultures will fly over our heads and all that I will see from the hand of my granddaughter. The world will return to the original sanity where what was important was what was important.

Hoffnung: der Grund sich nicht am Anfang des Jahres 2025 den Suizid zu wählen.

For my future in 2040, I would only wish that we as a global community have still managed to curb global warming and slow down climate change. I hope that we have still managed to avert a third world war and that the USA has not slipped into fascism. I wish for more social and gender justice and tolerance and humanism in general.

Ideal

The financial issues tackling Europe are no longer. The left governments are in charge. Owning a home and decent transport systems throughout Europe and all are easily accessible. Intereuropean flights are cheap, most of Europe runs on solar and wind power energy. High educated work force and little unemployment.
