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?

People are more protective of nature and its resources, everything that is used is recycled. All countries adhere to the principles of sustainability. No one fights for religious or political reasons. Even those who earn the least or are socially disadvantaged may not think or spend money on medicines or food.

I would like to live in a world where everyone can AGREE and appreciate the beauty of all things. It could also be a vision of the future that we can simply press a button for everything: paying invoices, obtaining information, arranging business, making contacts, ... But there should also be something very personal such as good food and drinks, being able to travel, enjoying culture and nature, being together without fears... A nice picture, but it will stay with an image, I think, that lives in the current 2025.

The future belongs to all of us, and I believe it is time for us to imagine a positive and inclusive future. Let's think about 2040 and how we can create a better world for ourselves, our children and future generations. I chose a specific topic that is important to me: the environment and climate. I want to imagine that by 2040, a powerful transition towards a more sustainable and green society has been created. The green transition In 2040, Europe is a leading example of how to live in harmony with nature. Plant pollution has been dramatically reduced, the air is clean and lakes are full of life. Clean energy: all electricity generation has switched to renewable energy, such as wind, solar and hydro power. The climate has stabilized, and temperatures have returned to a natural fluctuation. Efficiency: Buildings and products are designed to be energy efficient, minimizing resources and creating less waste. This has led to an 80% reduction in carbon emissions. Biodiversity: Nature reserves are protected from exploitation, and the landscape is rebuilt with vegetation that supports ecosystems. Wild species have returned, and agricultural lands are more diversified to promote biodiversity. Circular economy: the life cycle of every product is designed for reuse, recycling or degradation. This transition has reduced waste production by 90%. Climate anxiety-free: Using technologies that can absorb and store carbon, Europe is climate anxiety-free. An inclusive future The green transition has also led to a more inclusive society. No individuals or groups are discriminated against because of their socio-economic background. Economy: Equality and economic security have been achieved thanks to an increase in jobs and education, including for people with disabilities. Social cohesion: Communities in Europe have been re-established through local initiatives and grassroots projects that promote social participation and community building. How can we create this better future? It is not difficult to imagine a positive future. But making it a reality requires collective commitment and a willingness to tackle the challenges we face. Prioritize environmental and climate policies: It is time to act faster and stronger to reduce carbon emissions, protect natural systems and promote the circular economy. Include everyone: We must address socio-economic and social challenges by strengthening equality, economic security and social cohesion. Together, let's create a better world for our future. The future belongs to all of us, and we can build it the way we want.

I think of the future of 2040 as a phase of life full of achievements by science, especially with the defeat of the worst diseases, including cancers, the lengthening of people's lives and the improvement of people's well-being. One hope is also to see a significant decrease in world hunger and peace among all peoples of the earth. The effort produced by peoples to counter climate change will improve the condition of our earth. Cars, no longer polluting, will travel on their own without human help.
