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.

The first thing I would like to see is a world that lives in peace and whose primary goal is to fight poverty. I would also like us all to do our bit to stop climate change or, if that is not possible, at least slow it down. It would also be nice if the richest people in the world gave away everything over 5 million and redistributed it among the world's population. This would go some way to alleviating the poverty problem. It would also be important for everyone to always have access to clean drinking water and not fall ill because they have to drink contaminated water in order to survive. That would be very nice and I would also like to live to be 150 years old and stay totally healthy and mentally fit.

A morning in London

Opening my window first thing in the morning to take a fresh breath of clean air. This was despite living in eternally growing city of London. The air was crisp and without any pollutant smells. It was like being in a dense forest - the scent of trees and nature. Looking across the city I saw the glow of the rooftops - solar panels. Yes even in cloudy London everyone used solar power. This was because the tech had become so efficient that it was now possible to generate enough electricity for the average flat. Looking around I also spotted the buildings that instead chose to opt for green roofs. Vegetation and plants being used as a natural insulator but also to reduce the ovrrall temperature of the city during the hot summer months. Because the summers were getting hotter than ever each year. Thankfully this idea cooled the city down enough for it to be tolerable.

AI has taken over the world. Young people no longer spend their time sitting in university desks, because AI provides the answers through the internet. They are travelling a lot and experiencing new things. Relationships with their parents are almost broken because the worldview is so different between generations. To avoid this, more emphasis should be placed on humanity in everyday life, even in the age of high technology. The state of nature is the same as it is now, the climate has not changed. Technology has evolved and allows us to do things that are difficult for ordinary people to imagine today. It makes everyday life easier. Medicine, too, has evolved, giving hope to people who are ill. People have begun to seek the truth and many have discovered that God is real.

Technology has evolved to a whole new level, both in the private and military spheres. It is likely that control over individuals' private lives and finances has increased, which has also led those who disagree to become emboldened and to create alternative and perhaps even more creative financial networks. But most importantly, the perception of prosperity and security among the people of our country has changed. The UN has ceased its useless activities. A new security organisation has been created, perhaps already in cooperation with a more coldly developed civilisation, which is already preventing war conflicts from the outset. That is to say, not by allowing war to break out and allowing people to die, but simply by isolating the instigators of these conflicts at the very first stage of their ideas and plans. These new arrangements for the total prevention of armed conflicts make it pointless to spend the resources of armaments and those resources are invested in the well-being of people in the broadest sense of the word. The war between Russia and Ukraine is over in 2025, but the sanctions against Russia still exist. This Russian aggression is an example of the fact that the concept of security in our land had to be changed, because the majority of the population of the land simply watched as hundreds of soldiers and innocent citizens were murdered every day, and we understand that this is so primitive and therefore it is no longer tolerable. Sanctions on Russia start to be removed after ten years, when democratic elections have been held there.
