While I can't predict the future, I can share some trends and factors that may influence Europe's direction over the next 40 years:

Demographic Changes: Europe's population is expected to age, leading to increased pressure on healthcare systems and pensions. Migration may play a role in balancing demographics, influencing workforce dynamics and cultural landscapes.

Climate Change: Europe is likely to face significant challenges related to climate change, prompting greater investments in renewable energy and sustainable practices. Policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions may reshape economies and urban planning.

Technology and Innovation: Advances in technology, including AI, automation, and biotechnology, could transform industry and daily life. Europe may focus on maintaining competitive edges in high-tech sectors while addressing ethical concerns around these technologies.

Political Landscape: The political climate in Europe may continue to evolve, with populism and nationalist sentiments influencing policies. The strength and cohesion of the EU will likely be tested by economic disparities, migration issues, and geopolitical tensions.

Geopolitical Dynamics: Europe's relationships with global powers like the US, China, and Russia will be important. Changes in alliances, trade agreements, and defense strategies will shape Europe's role in global affairs.

Economic Development: Europe's economy may diversify further, with a focus on green technologies, digitalization, and resilience against global economic shifts. Regional economic disparities might lead to differing development paths within Europe.

These trends suggest a complex future for Europe shaped by various interrelated factors. Monitoring current events and developments in these areas may offer better insights as time progresses.

Politik für Menschen und den Planeten
The highest priorities are the environment and peace. Peace on all continents. The global community should also take care of the developing countries. developing countries. Even if there are no coveted raw materials to be exploited there. In order to get the global flow of refugees under control, the reasons for this should be tackled causally. If the economy in poorer countries is promoted and expanded, people will have little reason to leave their country. When it comes to environmental protection and resource consumption, the whole world should pull together. It is not enough for Germany to point the finger and try to be the model pupil while ruining its own economy and the Americans, Chinese, Indians and Russians don't even know what environmental protection and resource conservation means.

In 2040, I imagine a world without traffic jams cars driving on the road will be displaced by hovering cars. Everything will be made more robotic. Plastic will be displaced by greener, biodegradable materials, making people healthier, animals less likely to die and the environment cleaner.

Living Good Lives
In 2040, I would like to see housing become a human right and to see every human being housed safely and securely. This housing would be guaranteed despite income or employment status. Houses would become affordable through 3-D printing materials and through government social housing schemes, housing lotteries and affordable mortgage schemes. Houses could be owned or rented but everyone is housed. Derelict houses will be renovated and vacant/hoarded properties will not be permitted by landlord. Air BnB will not be allowed post full apartments or houses (only rooms in-house like normal BnBs). This economic and social security would boost local and cultural economies. The cities will belong to the people who live, work, and care there not to multinational corporations or to tourists (though tourists are of course welcome).

nous vivons l'ancien, maintenant.
I can easily imagine a very different kind of medicine, free at last to bring together all the potential of treatments and therapists. Where body, mind, emotions and the subtle planes will be treated together. The rational will join the holistic. People will take charge of themselves and change or adapt their behavior. The feminine and the masculine will finally be approached differently. Ancestral and archaic patterns will be gently and self-evidently eroded. Our conditioned programs will be able to move, and it will no longer be possible to stay where we are. This is the world that's on the move. It's not yet perceptible, but it's there.
