By 2040, I’d hope for a world where environmental sustainability is the core of every industry, community, and personal decision. The future I imagine would involve a world where clean energy is the dominant power source. Solar, wind, and other renewable resources would have fully replaced fossil fuels, and energy storage technology would be efficient enough to make the entire planet carbon-neutral.

Cities would be designed with green spaces and eco-friendly infrastructure. Vertical gardens, green roofs, and urban forests would be common sights. Buildings would be made with sustainable materials, equipped with energy-efficient systems and powered by local, clean sources.

Transportation would be electrified and automated, with most people using public transit or self-driving electric vehicles that run on renewable energy. Pollution from vehicles would be a thing of the past, and air quality would drastically improve, leading to healthier communities.

In this world, there would also be a major shift in how we handle waste. Circular economies would be the norm, where everything gets reused or recycled. Plastics would be eliminated or fully biodegradable, and electronic waste would be processed into valuable resources instead of piling up in landfills.

Socially, I hope to see a world where sustainability isn’t just a niche movement but an ingrained part of the global culture. Education would emphasize environmental consciousness, and every individual, community, and business would be actively engaged in reducing their environmental footprint.

This future wouldn’t just be clean—it would be vibrant, innovative, and deeply connected to the planet.

La Nature est revenue

The year is 2040. In France, a lot has changed in terms of the environment. But it's from my home that I look at the Mediterranean, which is much less polluted, the beaches are clean, and the inhabitants and/or tourists no longer throw anything into this beautiful natural environment. Near the coasts, there are more and more dolphins and sea turtles, and the seabed is magnificent and populated with possions since fishing has been banned. A little further away in the Luberon, in the evening on my mother's terrace, you can hear a pack of wolves howling and communicating, it's magnificent it echoes everywhere, since hunting has been banned the wild boar population is now regulated, the wolf has found its quarters again and no longer attacks the shepherds' sheep which are well protected and much less numerous, it must be said that the French hardly eat meat anymore. A little further on, in Gap, it's winter. It's snowing well enough, but it's going to take some time for the glaciers to re-form. We're on the right track, global warming still exists, but it's not moving as fast.

Demain, peut être

in the near or more or less distant future. I'll no longer be part of this world, so I can only imagine what my children's future will be like. Their respiratory systems will have deteriorated, and they'll have to breathe through filters. No doubt the war will have passed, and the population will have declined sharply. The box system will still exist, if people don't get moving; they'll just execute and obey. They'll probably watch films, reflecting trees and nature. Women will no longer bear children. Everything will take place in laboratories. Progress will be driven by artificial intelligence, with its good points and especially its bad, not because of AI, but because of men who see only profit. I've known horse-drawn carts, steam trains, rockets, computers, cell phones and color TV. But where is simple happiness?

Zukunft

I would like to see a Europe without wars and despots. And less garbage and dirt on the streets. If there are no more wars anywhere, everyone can stay in their own country (except for vacation purposes) Weapons (including knives) should be banned. It should be possible to treat illnesses in clinics - including cancer. Affordable housing for all. Inflation would be abolished

La société en 2040

Society in 2040 is more tolerant, with individuals less individualistic, but with a real awareness of the importance of "forming society", of being a community of solidarity, responsible for its future and its environment. Man has realized that he can be the key to his own salvation. Individuals are now more involved on a daily basis in helping others, preserving the environment and sharing wealth. Individual aspirations have given way to a collective, voluntary dynamic. Everyone is involved at his or her own pace, providing help, a gesture or time for an environmental or social cause. The economy is no longer based solely on personal enrichment, but values work and investment.
