OPENING AUTHORITY (ΚΑΙΝΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΑΡΧΗ)

The digital age that should mark people’s improved and more comfortable lives has shifted a balance of modern human beings. Any real feeling and experience is now considered obsolete and anything we are new to try, banal. Social networks determine our relationships, which either do not expand or do not evolve to a large extent in their absence. At the same time, society suffers from difficult economic problems. Corrupt governments of states could only bring the situation to the end of the barley. A barbour that can only be crossed with real values. But also. Ethical principles are missing from governments, civil servants, education, young people from all over the world. Every act is considered normal as long as it satisfies our egoism. And if this egoism leads to at least one subtle spiritual investigation or an attempt to rehabilitate the labour market, we are lucky. Because most of them imitate the prominence and dreams. Most try to win the beauty when it should not have a place in their lives. What beauty do we talk to? Each defines it differently. The issue is that what is now considered to be a “coul” is often the one that destroys the whole. But everything is good! The cigarettes in each recess are scattered, such as margarites on a mountain pasture, and the graffiti are fired in the urban galleries, making a spectacle... What beautiful our cities are! Car smoke does not disturb us. Forgotten bins do not tempt us. It is enough that our cities are not flooded by climate change. It is enough that COP27 did not discuss us at all, but about something bitter African farmers who cannot feed their children.

If at least half of these problems could be solved by 2040, I would be happy. But we will find the values to bridge the gap between modern realities and real life?

I envision 2040 as a time when nature and technology exist in harmony. Cities are green, full of old trees that have been preserved and carefully tended, and people are aware of their value not only ecologically but also culturally. The oak trees that were once inventoried are thriving, forming an unbroken ecological network that supports biodiversity. Conservation is no longer just an isolated project, but a way of life, integrated into urban planning and everyday decisions. Libraries remain important cultural and educational hubs, combining physical and digital experiences and fostering meaningful communication. Sustainable lifestyles are becoming the norm, with renewable energy, green transport and responsible consumption. Knowledge sharing between countries is seamless, allowing people to learn from each other. This is a future where respect for history, nature and knowledge creates real progress.

Мирен живот, свързан повече с природата
People have come to their senses and have stopped fighting wars, started protecting nature, planting trees and not polluting the environment. I hope my heirs don't eat insects and worms, but real food grown on farms.

Европа на бъдещето
In 2040, Europe is a continent of innovation, sustainable development and high quality of life. After years of technological advances and environmental responsibility, cities are greener, transport is more efficient, and climate problems are significantly mitigated. The transport of the future In big cities, traffic is almost entirely autonomous. Magnetic levitation trains connect European capitals at speeds of over 600 km/h, making travel fast, comfortable and environmentally friendly. Flying taxis, powered by hydrogen and electric batteries, offer an alternative to traditional transport, while private internal combustion cars have long been banned. As a result of these changes, noise pollution has decreased and the air in cities is significantly cleaner. Climate change Following decisive action to limit carbon emissions, Europe is among the first regions to achieve carbon neutrality. Cities are covered with 'green roofs' that absorb CO₂ and reduce the need for air conditioning. The transition to renewable energy is complete - solar panels, wind turbines and fusion reactors power the entire continent. Reforestation and the use of innovative carbon sequestration methods are helping to balance the climate. Technological advances Artificial intelligence and robotics have streamlined industry, healthcare and education. Doctors are using nanotechnology to treat diseases that were once deadly, and virtual reality has been integrated into the education process. Every citizen has access to personalised digital services that make everyday life easier and improve quality of life. This Europe is an example of sustainable development and harmony between man, nature and technology.
