In the year 2040, Europe has changed more than we imagine. Cities, once crowded and noisy, are now vast sustainable urban ecosystems, surrounded by floating gardens and green buildings that purify the air. Electric vehicles travel without noise, while high-speed trains connect cities in minutes, traversing solar-powered underground tunnels.

2025 was the turning point: Humanity came together to tackle climate change. Renewables became the foundation of all nations, and carbon capture technologies helped clean the air. Governments began investing in education and health for all, and artificial intelligence, which had developed rapidly, now works at the service of people, making life easier and more connected.

In 2040, the old borders have disappeared. Europe is a network of global cooperation, united by a deep respect for the environment, culture and peace. The day begins with a walk through urban parks, fresh, clean air, and a coffee served in a biodegradable cup that disintegrates at the end of the day. The future is not only possible, but we have created it together.

Heaven in earth

We've done it: the energy on our planet comes exclusively from renewable sources. We use wind, water and the sun, but also nuclear fusion without risk and without emissions. People have enjoyed an energy boost and there is no more war on earth. All people have equal rights - men, women and everyone else.

The calm

I would like to see sustainability goals actually implemented and put into practice. Seeing people come together and have discussions instead of screaming over each other. Communities coming together and sharing the burden of responsibility of a nation and governments that actually uphold their promises and run in more efficient manner. I don’t dream of huge developments or loud changes but instead, a calm world where everyone can finally relax.

Es ist besser in Frieden und Harmonie zu leben als rechten Hetzern nachzulaufen

It's early morning in the year 2040 and the chip implanted in my brain wakes me up at the appointed time. I wash up and have breakfast before taking the bus to work. There is no more private transport. Instead, I hear birds singing and see butterflies flying from flower to flower. It's hard to believe that my grandparents destroyed the environment with so much energy 20 years ago. As if they wanted to rob their children of their future. I am glad that everything turned out differently. Back then, far-right forces took over the government in many countries. After they left behind a shambles and also abolished democracies, they were sent packing by popular uprisings around the world. This was followed by an era of peace and freedom. An intact environment is now important to us, we have learned this lesson. And this era is still going on. Hopefully the old days will never, ever return.

Il mondo che vorrei

In 2040, medicine is technologically advanced, pollution is greatly reduced. There are no limits and barriers, all men are equal, whether black or white. Women have the same rights and possibilities as men. Respect for every living being prevails.
