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

Das Comeback der Demokratie
It would be a future in which would-be dictators are put to rest once and for all, in which people can be who they are, at least as long as they do not harm others. A world in which people listen to each other again instead of condemning each other for the smallest offenses. A world in which people focus on the important things, take a pragmatic view of the future, don't give populism a chance and let realism take over.

Gezondheidszorg in 2040: sneller, slimmer en mensgerichter
It is 2040, and healthcare has taken a giant leap forward. No more endless wait times, no more fragmentation of care between different agencies - everything has become more efficient, accessible and people-oriented. In this ideal future, hospitals, general practitioners and specialty care providers work under one roof or in seamless collaborative networks. Smart technology and data exchange allow patients to get to the right specialist immediately, without unnecessary referrals or long waiting times. AI-based triage systems ensure that care requests are assessed quickly and accurately, so that people immediately receive the care they need. In addition, prevention has become a key focus. People have access to personalized health programs supported by technology that helps them live healthy lives and identify conditions early. This not only eases the pressure on care, but also keeps people healthy longer. But best of all? Healthcare is still human. Despite all the technological advances, the relationship between caregiver and patient is central. Doctors and nurses have more time for personal attention thanks to more efficient processes, which ensures better care as well as a more pleasant working environment. The healthcare of 2040 will not only be faster and smarter, but above all more personalized. And that is exactly where we need to go.

Die Vernunft muss siegen!
All the countries of the world not only live together peacefully but have also joined forces to protect the earth and the climate. For example, they have jointly financed projects to reforest forests and to reforest and green barren landscapes anywhere in the world. Production is now only based on demand, not profit. Within the EU in particular, countries have once again put the welfare of their own country first. Illegal immigration, especially in Germany, has been stopped and foreign criminals have been returned to their home countries. In Germany, the AfD is the only party in power and has returned the country to its former strength. Christmas markets and public events are making a peaceful comeback. Victims of foreign criminals received compensation and the perpetrators received their just punishments.

Vision Europa 2040
In a Europe of 2040, we will be in a united community with a central government. The political parties will each have joined together to form a European party, and the parliament will be led by the Volt Party. The electrical energy required for industry, households and transportation will come from renewable sources. Electric cars will be charged inductively in a few seconds at special points.
