The year is 2040, global fires are complicating the lives of the still growing world population, it is getting warmer and the glaciers of the world are completely gone. Sea levels have risen significantly and continue to rise, coastal cities are under increasing pressure from ever-increasing water masses. Machines are increasingly taking over the tasks of humans and are becoming ever more intelligent, the CO₂ values in the Earth's atmosphere have long exceeded a critical level.

Leben im Vertrauen auf Gott
My vision of the future of our world is shaped by liberalism, oriented towards the "Our Father" and the "Ten Commandments". People should know that our world is created and dependent on a power that, like parents, loves and cares for its children. This power is beyond our imagination, but in reliance on it we should submit to its will for good and not think that the world can be saved according to our will. We should receive the "daily bread" gratefully, "forgive debts", not want to gain advantages through short-term gain at the expense of others, and give the final "redemption from evil" to the Creator of this world.

Przyszłość naszej planety
I hope that in these times people will live without wars and create a worldwide system that will allow us to manage our planet in a way that will protect its resources for future generations. People living in different parts of our world will live in harmony with nature and will be aware that it is necessary to survive. Countries will cooperate rather than compete with each other.

Jeg ønsker, at inden jeg dør, vil jeg få en lille smule optimisme med hensyn til troen på fremtiden.
I want my grandchildren to have a job that they find relevant at the time. I don't want them to work more than they have time to have the leisure time they need. If you hitchhike without stress, you get better health, which will be an economic benefit for the state. Power and greed have become unfashionable and it has been realized that life is too short for wars and enmity.

In 2040, my child will be 19 years old and travelling in an increasingly borderless Europe, on a comprehensive and fast rail network around the world. From the train window, the budding forest planting projects, both in the cities and in the countryside, are flashing by. Grasslands have also already been mainly restored as meadows or forests. Solar panels and windmills flash on the horizon. Cities are home to an increasingly multicultural population whose existence is measured not by production value or income but by a happiness barometer.
