In 2040, I imagine a future where environmental sustainability and community well-being are at the forefront of European societies. Climate change is no longer a looming threat, but a challenge that has been successfully addressed through widespread adoption of clean energy sources, sustainable agriculture, and eco-friendly technologies. Cities are green and self-sustaining, with solar panels, wind turbines, and urban gardens integrated into every aspect of daily life. The air is cleaner, and biodiversity has been restored, creating vibrant ecosystems even in urban centers.

In this future, mobility has drastically improved. Transportation is efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly. Electric cars, autonomous vehicles, and high-speed trains make commuting faster and more convenient, while also reducing carbon emissions. People are encouraged to use public transport or cycle, promoting healthier lifestyles and a more connected community.

Social fairness and inclusion are key elements of this future. Governments and organizations work together to ensure that opportunities are equally accessible to all, regardless of background. Education is tailored to equip young people with the skills needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world, focusing on creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration.

This future is one where Europe thrives as a united and diverse community, with individuals working together to solve global challenges, ensure prosperity, and protect the environment for future generations. It is a future that offers hope, equality, and a harmonious relationship between humans and nature.

it will be 15 years from now. it seems to me that this future is close and uncertain. the great leaders of certain countries have delusions of grandeur, and if they succeed in obtaining a result, it's the ordinary citizen who will suffer the consequences of their very personal ambitions. Our earth could become uninhabitable due to climate change and its consequences, and humans will destroy themselves.

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.
