In 2040, the world has transformed into a thriving, sustainable ecosystem, where human innovation and technology have harmonized with nature. Here's a glimpse of what that future looks like:

*Renewable Energy Dominance*

1. *100% Renewable Energy*: The world has transitioned to 100% renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power. Fossil fuels are a relic of the past.

2. *Energy Storage Advancements*: Breakthroughs in energy storage technologies, like advanced batteries and supercapacitors, have enabled efficient and reliable energy distribution.
3. *Smart Grids*: AI-optimized smart grids manage energy distribution, predicting energy demand and adjusting supply in real-time, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency.
*Eco-Friendly Infrastructure*

1. *Sustainable Cities*: Cities are designed with green architecture, incorporating vertical farms, urban forests, and green spaces, reducing urban heat islands and promoting biodiversity.

2. *Electric and Self-Driving Transportation*: Electric vehicles have replaced traditional gas-powered cars, and self-driving transportation systems have minimized accidents and reduced congestion.
3. *Carbon Capture and Utilization*: Carbon capture technologies have become widespread, converting CO2 into valuable chemicals, fuels, and building materials, reducing emissions and creating new industries.
*Global Cooperation and Climate Resilience*

1. *International Climate Cooperation*: The world has come together to address climate change, sharing knowledge, technologies, and best practices to mitigate its effects.

2. *Climate Resilience and Adaptation*: Communities have adapted to the changing climate, implementing resilient infrastructure, climate-smart agriculture, and early warning systems to minimize the impact of extreme weather events.
In this future, humanity has not only mitigated climate change but has also created a thriving, sustainable world, where technology and nature coexist in harmony. The air is clean, the oceans are healthy, and the planet is flourishing. This is the future I envision, and I hope that humanity will work together to make it a reality.

Ukraine's war and Trump's government have awakened the Europeans. Ukraine was forced to make peace, NATO was prevented by the US, and it was admitted to the EC. The EC has set up a joint army, some of which is based in Ukraine. The bureaucracy has been radically simplified, applications must be completed after 6 months at the latest. Britain is back in the EC. Council of Europe decisions need 60 percent approval. The blockade of individual states no longer exists.

It would be nice if in 2040 viruses such as HIV and annoying pestilences such as cancer were to be considered eradicated. It would be nice if you could already determine at birth whether the child has serious diseases to expect, which you can then immediately eradicate. It would be nice if inflation could be reduced to a minimum. It would be nice if religions no longer matter. Because there is religion. Wars that can be prevented.

The Eu will dissilve. USA, Russia and China come to maybe not ideal, but still mutuallí acceteble agreement where Euope will have no choice at all except to adjust to the new World order. They will have to nomalise their reletionship with everyone. All those who won't comply, will be exiles, as simple as that. No Brussels dictate any more. National goverments will prevail. No LGBT, only conservative approach.

International world
Ideally, I like to think of a future in 2040 for example, that is even more international that the world we live in today. In fact, I consider that nowadays, when compared to the previous years and the generation of my parents and grandparents, our reality is way more international and I've lived it myself. But I like to believe that in the future it will be even more easy to travel and explore other countries and share international experiences worldwide. However, I'm afraid that these expectations I have in mind for the future might be stopped by wars and international conflicts related to politics.
