I have been retired for a few years and live a serene elderly life in my own home with my spouse. I don't have grandchildren because my own children didn't want to have children because they felt uncertain about the climate and the future. The carbon neutrality targets have finally been achieved, a few years later than planned, but much easier and cheaper than what was intimidated by the government parties in 2025. Right-wing parties have lost support and tolerance and understanding differences are commonplace. Immigration has increased with climate refugees, but it has also helped to keep the whole country inhabited. Agriculture is flourishing and our country is self-sufficient in grain. Thanks to wind, water and nuclear power, our country is also self-sufficient in terms of energy. Being at the forefront of the green revolution, the country has received a lot of investment that has been linked to the green economy, and that is why our economy has grown and debt is being paid off, rather than being increased. Young people's faith in the future is brighter than in years, and as a result of good health and economic policy, the world's population has turned to decline. It is no longer necessary to have children in order to ensure that old age is safeguarded. In every country, girls get to go to school and decide on their own body. I can quietly close my eyes and fall asleep in the afternoon sun for a moment and then get up to make an early dinner for myself and my spouse.

In the future, humanity has arrived at a time when we realize that we need each other. No one is anyone's enemy, no one is left alone, everyone is needed because there are tasks for everyone big or small. We tell each other stories and hang out. The time in front of all screens has been reduced.

The war in Ukraine is over. Russia is divided into 10-15 countries. Europe has a common armed force, high-tech, mobile. The EU is actively competing with the US and China in cutting-edge technologies, the economy has stagnated. Islam in Europe is banned and hopefully the Arabs in the Middle East are beginning to give up Islam. A-Europe has achieved R-Europe in economic development. Migrants who are not ready to accept Western culture, everyday life, laws should go to their countries of birth or where they are welcomed. AI intelligence and technological developments allow people to work less physically and devote more time to their development, creation, science, family, travel.

The sun slowly rose over Warsaw in 2042, and Aleksandra woke up in her intelligent apartment. The gentle light imitating the sunrise and the smell of freshly brewed coffee from the automatic coffee machine made her start the day with a smile. Her work as a coordinator of urban vertical gardens gave her a lot of satisfaction. Thanks to modern technologies, buildings across Europe have turned into green spaces, producing oxygen and food. The cities were full of trees and parks, and autonomous transport made the air clean and the streets quiet. Aleksandra got into a light, electric city vehicle that operated in a sharing system. On the way, she read the news: European Union countries have achieved zero carbon emissions and new fusion technology has provided a cheap and clean source of energy. After work, she met her friends at a local cafe, where 3D printed plant-based snacks tasted like the best dishes from years ago. They talked about a future that was finally optimistic – Europe succeeded in creating a sustainable, innovative and happy society.
