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

Umweltfreundliche Zukunft
In my future, more emphasis would be placed on the climate. There would be more research into renewable energy, the lifespan of technical products would be significantly longer and they could be repaired cheaply everywhere. Consumption would be sustainable and meat would be significantly more expensive. On the other hand, more emphasis is placed on environmentally friendly, healthy alternatives. Rainforest deforestation is banned and a sustainable alternative for wood is found. All in all, we respect nature more.

Es kann nur besser werden...
I urgently wish for a peaceful Europe, not only free of "special operations" at the borders, but also of terror within the borders. I would also like to see good living conditions, clean air, safe strolling through the cities, which would mean a massive reduction in individual, motorized traffic. Cruelty towards animals will hopefully be a thing of the past, so people will live mainly vegan, which will also help the climate. I am not as negative about its development as the mainstream (I prefer mild winters). I also very much hope that Europe has not succumbed to Islam and that the totalitarian nature of this ideology is recognized and combated in the meantime. Technological developments and inventions will make life easier in many areas over the next 15 years. I very much hope that the EU will not regulate everything to death, but will provide opportunities for new developments. I look forward to the beautiful and pleasant things that are to be expected!

Un monde idéal après des années catastrophique sous tous les plans
What a joy to have returned to a world where there is no more insecurity, no more aggression, no more war or terrorism. Everything can be recycled, and we've found a definitive solution to global warming. Full employment has returned, and there's work for everyone, thanks to the decision to apply selective and measured immigration. The justice system is uncompromising, and no one wants to repeat a crime because the penalties are so exemplary.

L utopique age d or
People no longer eat animals, forests are protected, there is only one god, the universe. Cancer is eradicated. Weapons are banned. Nuclear bombs are defused all over the planet, hundreds of millions of trees are replanted, the conquest of space is the top priority. Esperanto is the universal language, and live and let live has become everyone's motto. Last but not least, the human population does not exceed ten billion.
