It is the year 2040 and Europe has become a place where harmony between technology and nature is the norm. The day begins in a small coastal town in Spain, where the sun shines through smart windows that adjust the temperature of the home without the need for external energy. The houses are now built with recycled materials and each has a system that converts air into energy.

Only 15 years ago, in 2025, the situation was alarming. The climate crisis and natural disasters threatened the survival of big cities. The transition to renewable energy was the turning point: Governments, businesses and citizens came together to reduce carbon emissions and restore the ecological balance.

Today, the oceans are cleaner, and green areas in cities have multiplied. Agriculture is completely vertical and is carried out inside buildings, with systems that ensure that all food is local and sustainable. People travel across Europe on high-speed trains that traverse breathtaking landscapes, powered by solar and geothermal energy, with no carbon footprint. This future is the result of a collective effort to rebuild a more just and balanced world.

Hopefully such a world in 15-25 years

It would be nice if in 2040 viruses such as HIV and annoying pestilences such as cancer were to be considered eradicated. It would be nice if you could already determine at birth whether the child has serious diseases to expect, which you can then immediately eradicate. It would be nice if inflation could be reduced to a minimum. It would be nice if religions no longer matter. Because there is religion. Wars that can be prevented.

The Eu will dissilve. USA, Russia and China come to maybe not ideal, but still mutuallí acceteble agreement where Euope will have no choice at all except to adjust to the new World order. They will have to nomalise their reletionship with everyone. All those who won't comply, will be exiles, as simple as that. No Brussels dictate any more. National goverments will prevail. No LGBT, only conservative approach.

International world
Ideally, I like to think of a future in 2040 for example, that is even more international that the world we live in today. In fact, I consider that nowadays, when compared to the previous years and the generation of my parents and grandparents, our reality is way more international and I've lived it myself. But I like to believe that in the future it will be even more easy to travel and explore other countries and share international experiences worldwide. However, I'm afraid that these expectations I have in mind for the future might be stopped by wars and international conflicts related to politics.

It's hard to think so far because I'm 75 now. Above all, I want my children and grandchildren to live in a safe world with democratic values, have the opportunity to work and education based on their conditions , have access to a nature that is not private and also a culture that is not expensive
