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?

Selbstverständnis statt Wunschdenken
I want an open, humane Europe. It should again be more about the people and not just talk loudly about economic crises and political misconduct. People should stand together and be cosmopolitan and helpful. No one should be afraid of political decisions. Everyone should pull together. Those who make the policy should be honest. In Dtl, for example, the reintroduction of the property tax could flush a large batch of money into the coffers. Those who already have a lot of assets should pay this tax, the money could be used to rehabilitate schools. The climate problem should be made understandable for everyone and all possibilities should be discussed openly here as well. It is our nature of the world that we need to live. The trees clean our air - don't let it grow fast. They also cool our earth and provide shade. We should not continue to destroy nature, but also give it something back. We should move away from fossil fuels, because once they are exhausted, important time for research on renewable energies is lost. Perhaps by 2040 we are already completely away from non-renewable energies. My hope is small, because there are only 15 years left. I hope that all children have the same opportunities, no matter what social class they come from. They are our future and have a right to live in a healthy world.

2040: toward a better future
In 2040, I envision a future where sustainable technology has revolutionized daily life, making the world cleaner, more efficient, and less dependent on fossil fuels. One of the biggest changes would be in energy production and consumption. Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and fusion power would be dominant, providing cheap, abundant electricity. Batteries and grid storage technology would be so advanced that blackouts and energy shortages would be a thing of the past. Electric and hydrogen-powered transportation would replace gasoline-powered vehicles entirely, with high-speed, energy-efficient public transit connecting cities. Personal electric vehicles would be self-driving, reducing accidents and traffic congestion. Homes and cities would be built with smart, energy-efficient materials that adapt to climate conditions. In this future, climate change would be under control, thanks to carbon capture, reforestation, and sustainable urban planning. The air would be cleaner, ecosystems healthier, and extreme weather less frequent. Technology and sustainability would work hand in hand to create a better world.

Leider alles nur Utopie, die Menschheit wird es nie lernen
I would like humanity to finally understand that wars won't win anything, only lose, but of course they are utopia, because that's what humanity will never get, as the past and the present show. Furthermore, I would like all able-bodied people to have work and then pursue it, so that this social shaming is finally abolished. It has to be available for every affordable living space and you have to be able to afford the normal life. It would also be a concern to me that the environment would be more protected, so that a tolerable life is actually possible in terms of climate technology.

Control del bosque activo
Greater sustainability for forests and forest areas, having good actions of clearing low forest, taking care of the fauna and its environment. All actions must be aimed at avoiding major environmental catastrophes, such as forest fires and massification in those areas where access to visitors will have to be regulated.
