The topics that I see as encompassing a lot of aspects of our life are communication and transparency. I think whether we are journalists or not, people in my country have lost the ability to communicate properly on heated topics - from climate change, the pandemic, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and etc. Discussion has become ever more difficult because of many reasons but some key ones include 1) people heavily mistaking opinions for facts; 2) people being unaware of how strong disinformation is and what are its goals 3) lack of empathy and the desire to listen, not only to express your own viewpoint and try to convince the others. Hence, whether we talk about the state of democracy, media freedom, environmental protection and how we imagine them to be better in 2040, I think an improved information space is vital to that.

Brave New Europe

It is year 2040 and the Europe lands are at peace. We live in Europe, where there is no war but rather strict rules and great consequences for those who break them. The power of the elite is spread among different countries so that none of them have the prevailing power to take over whatever he desires. At the same time though, people who are willing to take action in their lives, are being enabled so, by running the waters of capitalism. There are barely any resources for the people who are whining about their neighbours’s grass being greener, and are only bringing irrelevant issues into the mix, while people who seek for new ways, and are ready to be financially elevated, are provides with such resources.

Trajnostna prihodnost

In 2040, I want a future where technology, environment and society are in balance. Sustainable development would be a key goal: energy would be almost exclusively renewable and urban spaces would be designed with more green spaces and clean air. Smart infrastructure would allow efficient use of resources and reduce pollution. Society would be fairer, with equal opportunities for all, where access to quality education and healthcare would become a universal right. Technology would serve human needs and artificial intelligence would help tackle global challenges such as climate change. A better balance between work and leisure would also be important, with a greater emphasis on social cohesion and care for the planet. This would be a future where people are more compassionate, responsible and connected to nature.

Eine Welt für alle Lebewesen

A world without so many cars driving every day. A restored nature in which all animals and plants can exist. An end to factory farming and a plant-based diet for all people. No one in the world has to go hungry or have no access to water. Single-family homes will be abolished and only multi-family homes, more space for everyone and therefore more nature! Land sealing will be reversed worldwide! Killing stations for dogs and cats will be banned worldwide! Yulin and other dog meat festivals are over!!!! What a beautiful world this would be for all living beings!

Ekologia i Estetyka

In 2040, an international environmental program will be in operation and become a standard: minimal emissions from cars, businesses and mines, a program to green urban spaces and increase the countries' forest cover will continue. A landscape aesthetics program will also be introduced, so that mottled advertisements, signs and logos will disappear from buildings and roadside areas, the number of road signs will be reduced and their placement systematized - cities will regain style and areas along roads will regain order.
