It was a sunny morning in September 2050 when I set out on a journey to the heart of Europe's future. As I traveled through Zagreb by autonomous electric vehicle, I noticed how public parks had transformed the congested streets. People were gathering in botanical gardens, exchanging ideas, and creating collective projects for a sustainable future.

Between 2025 and 2050, the world underwent a significant transformation. Cities became self-sufficient, and renewable energy replaced fossil fuels. Inspired by eco-innovations, I visited a center for innovation where young experts were working on developing new technologies for recycling plastic waste into bioplastics.

After lunch, I strolled along the Drava River, where cherry blossoms were falling from trees and providing a source of food. We were all connected – nature, technology, and people. In that instant, I realized that the future we had dreamed of was finally a reality. And every day was an opportunity to create a better world.

As I continued my journey, I witnessed a Europe where borders were no longer an issue, and people from all walks of life were living together in harmony. The air was clean, the water was pure, and the earth was thriving. I saw a generation of innovators and leaders who had taken responsibility for shaping their own future and that of their planet.

In this Europe of 2050, sustainability was not just a buzzword; it was a way of life. People had come together to create a world where technology and nature coexisted in perfect harmony, where the needs of the present were met without compromising the future. It was a future that was not just possible, but already here – a reminder that the choices we make today shape the world we live in tomorrow.

I returned to the present with a renewed sense of purpose, inspired by the people and projects I had met on my journey. I knew that creating a better world would require effort, creativity, and determination, but I also knew that it was achievable. And so, I encouraged others to join me on this journey, to dream big, and to work together to build a Europe that was truly for all.

La paix dans le monde

I'd like to see world peace in 2040, where people can travel and emigrate freely. To achieve this, we need to put an end to dictatorships, the desire to conquer territories, power and material domination, and live in peaceful, intelligent communities.

DANS 15 ANS SUR CETTE TERRE

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.
