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.

I would like the world to be at peace in 2040. I would like the so-called powers of the world not to make deals with each other that result in small countries being wiped off the face of the earth. So that the dictators who are still in power today understand that their actions are unacceptable to the people and are willing to hand over power to the people themselves. I would like to see respect and support for every human being in 2040. Whether they are elderly, children or disabled. So that we can all understand that often disability is not our own doing and that we will all grow old one day. And that by that time we will all have the empathy to accept such people as equals . I very much hope that we will all have enough money to live decently . That we will all be able to live in our own homes , that we will have enough to eat and clean water to drink . That we can get the necessary and effective medical care in case of health problems and that all our children can learn according to their abilities . I would like us all to be happy.

As we grow older, one hopes, of course, that the broken care of the elderly will finally be put right, both here and elsewhere. Help will be available at home as and when the elderly person's condition requires it. There are enough hands and time in home care. This would allow people to live longer in familiar surroundings for as long as possible. A familiar landscape in which to move around according to one's ability. And when it is time to move to a nursing home or service home or similar, there are enough hands and staff to stop and chat and organise activities and pastimes together, respecting the residents until the end. Cities have begun to build large green spaces, for example by extending parks and building large parking structures. This means that many parking spaces on the ground can be demolished and replaced by vegetation. Trees, shrubs and flower chains that provide a variety of habitats for animals. And plants too. A living park is refreshing to visit, if it really is a living park and not a systematic field of trees. Winding paths mimic outdoor trails for the disabled, with winter maintenance. If snow and ice still 2050 are current. Outside urban areas, forest felling has become selective and clear-cutting has been completely abandoned. Species-rich stands of many ages provide space for diverse biodiversity. Wooded fields have become forests again, with a high diversity of vegetation and species, allowing for diversity in other life forms. It is a good place to pick berries and mushrooms, or simply to wander around for refreshment and relaxation in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

Alles anders

Ich wache auf und mache mich fertig für die Arbeit. Im Haus macht mir KI mein Leben leichter. Ich steuere alle Funktionen per Sprachassistent. Autos bzw. ÖPNV fahren alle elektrisch. Wohnungen sind kleiner als heute und voll klimaneutral. Die Arbeitswelt hat sich sehr verändert und die Arbeitszeit hat sich auf 30 Stunden reduziert. Fleisch wird nur noch synthetisch hergestellt.

probabilmente solo un sogno

I would like a future where people can live together and in peace without distinctions of color, religion or sexual preferences, where people are "judged" for how they behave, a future where technology is used to improve people's lives and not to replace them in the workplace and where safety at work is the first place, a future that can guarantee a peaceful life for my grandchildren.
