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.

By 2040, the way we travel will have changed completely. No more human-driven cars. We'll be boarding spacious, comfortable machines equipped with a variety of games and screens. All we'll need to do is ask for our destination, and we'll arrive at high speed, stress-free and fatigue-free.

The main issues to be tackled are migration, peace, the environment. The EU needs to impose tough rules so that it does not pay for anyone to migrate to Europe. This could be done by 2040. Migration causes unrest in society, fear among local people, acts of terrorism. Peace - calming the war in Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Hamas. These two conflicts make us most nervous. Politicians should do everything to bring about calm. And the environment? The whole planet must try to improve the situation, Europe will not save anything.

All the houses on our estate are energy self-sufficient. If the individual solar cells are not enough, we have our communal wind turbines, which always produce at high altitude. The profit is distributed to everyone. We only drive a few electric cars and prefer to use our bikes or local transport for most journeys. There are trees everywhere, it's green. Birds on every corner. I work for a company in Ireland. But with home office and fiber everywhere, it doesn't matter where in Europe I work. My son is studying in Denmark. But with the high-speed trains, he can be back here in an hour.

Budúcnosť bez obavy

I would like there to be peace on earth. That all unrest would cease. We are all responsible for what our planet will look like in the future and what relationships will be like, but the higher ups have much more influence over everything. I also hope that nature will be put back in order. We should eliminate the cutting down of trees because they are the main producers of oxygen. Various natural disasters are becoming more and more frequent. Heavy rains but also extreme droughts are plaguing the country in much greater numbers than in the past. This is linked to global warming. It is not only people who suffer during wars, but also nature. I think that nature becomes enormously polluted then. Dangerous substances leak out of explosions and enter the atmosphere, and the soil and, of course, the animals also suffer. I hope that people will realise what is happening to our planet as soon as possible and that we can do a lot together. People are constantly complaining about the political system. I don't know if this has any solution. But it will certainly help if there are road and fair people in politics. But such people are very hard to find. Everything goes easier with good state leadership. There are much nicer interpersonal relations between people in a given country, less quarrels and overall well-being. However, it should be remembered that small changes can be made by man for himself. Try to be better day by day and thus create a more beautiful future for yourself. I hope that the world will only go for the better.
