Spring came again earlier than last year. Snow and cold are shorter than at the turn of the millennium. Early in the spring, you can get to the summer cottage, where you can take an electric and low-energy aircar. The basic heat coming from the geothermal heat of the cottage has been raised in advance through a separate app. The purpose is to plant the potatoes, get the first harvest long before Midsummer without separate artificial fertilizers. The new potato varieties are tasty and their roots can effectively absorb the nutrients they need from the soil. The following summer, another new plant species, perhaps in need of a long growing season, will be grown in the same parcel of land that has landed in our country.
Swimming in the lake is more pleasant than before and the bathing season is longer than before. Forest owners have blocked the ditches that bring humus and the meltwaters reach the lake through separate filter ponds. Leaching from fields and livestock shelters is also much smaller today. In terms of animal welfare, their outdoor activities have become more common and landscapes have improved with the sight of animals outdoors and traditional biotopes.

Aufschwung
In 2040, the world has become a true democracy. Politicians no longer operate in elitist bubbles, but are able to grasp and implement the true needs of the population. Decisions are based on transparency and direct participation - every vote counts, regardless of social status. Security has noticeably increased: crime is effectively combated through preventive measures such as education, social integration and intelligent surveillance systems, without sacrificing privacy. Prosperity is no longer a privilege of the few; through sustainable economic activity, fair tax systems and global trade networks, broad sections of the population enjoy access to education, health and modern technologies. A balanced energy and circular economy have increased the quality of life, while social inequalities have been reduced. 2040 stands for a society that not only promises democracy, security and prosperity, but lives it - a model that unites and advances humanity.

Projection en 2040
The year is 2040. We need to think positively about our children and grandchildren. How they'll live in either serene or turbulent times. I'd like the future to be full of peace, less anxiety. Serenity compared to what we're feeling right now. I imagine that in 2040 there will be more peace, less anxiety, nature respected and offering a serene future. Technologies are evolving so fast that our children's adaptation will be rapid and will advance the way we live and depend on them more and more. My dearest wish is that life will be easier, calmer and more welcoming, with a great deal of respect.

Demokratisierung der EU
The European Union is economically stronger. Democracy has finally prevailed, the EU Parliament, the EU Commissioners and the EU President are now directly elected by the EU population and are no longer decided in backrooms. The EU bureaucracy has been reduced to 25% and is no longer allowed to impose bans or restrictions on the basis of an EU constitution. The EU has become more liberal and the individual states are once again sovereign.

The way we work will change. Teleworking in the roaring years gave an impetus to the fact that work no longer requires a physical presence in the office for all jobs.By 2040, work will be done four days a week. This will allow for a greater degree of disengagement from work for time off. Nature and being close to nature will become an important part of people's well-being. Our environment will demand greater attention as a result of climate change. We work with respect for nature. We will return closer to nature. Local food, local tourism, work will also be done nearby, the need to travel will be reduced.
