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.

We are better together!
We have come a long way since the turn of the millenia. We struggled with out identity, because we were holding tight to those antiquated lines we call borders and that led us to fight among ourselvesm Luckly we managed to find common ground in our shared beliefs and our vision for a better future, we reached out and learned that our neighbour is not our enemy. Now we are rebuilding a better and more united Europe, where borders are starting to fade away leaving room for collaboration and innovation. We are better together!

Imagine a future in which humanity has put aside its differences and come together to save the planet. A world where people don't have to work and can devote themselves to learning more about the planet and the different forms of life.

In the year 2040, I envision a future where technology and sustainability go hand in hand. Renewable energy will be the sole source of power, ensuring a clean and healthy environment. Cities will be green, with electric public transportation and ample green spaces. Education will be accessible to all, regardless of location or financial resources, and will incorporate new technologies to create an innovative learning environment. In health, medical advances will offer personalized treatment and disease prevention, and health services will be universal and equitable. Artificial intelligence will optimize everyday life and be ethical, respecting people's rights and privacy. Communities will be sustainable, promoting social interaction and active lifestyles. This is the ideal future I envision in 2040, a harmonious and prosperous future for all inhabitants of the planet.

I imagine that by 2040 Europe will be a more welcoming place for immigrants. For this to happen, we need to understand that immigrants don't come to their chosen country to steal jobs and housing, but rather to add to it, to seek experiences and a quality of life that they often don't find in their homeland. On the other hand, for immigration not to be feared, it is urgent that governments establish rules and suitable living conditions for their users and immigrants. It is important if you understand the beauty of mixing cultures and how much you can learn from each other.
