27 January 2040 My youngest son wakes up in a rebuilding Europe. But she's happy. There's sun on the horizon again. Political populism has ruined borders and pushed the planet beyond its capacity for regeneration. But they disappeared more than a decade ago. As always, society has reacted. From the energy and environmental limitations was made creativity. The green spaces returned to the cities. Borders have reopened and tolerance is once again a quality. By bike , the young adults go to the university campuses. Study, create, and recover the beauty of the world

In the morning I wake up in an apartment built in a green area, covered with solar panels, which, thanks to the innovations of previous generations, is completely self-sustaining. The energy comes from clean sources, the water flows recycled, and the home artificial intelligence system monitors my health while making suggestions for optimizing my daily routine. My city, which used to be smogy and noisy, now operates with quiet and sustainable transport systems. Electric self-driving vehicles, which we use together, serve the cleanliness of the atmosphere, while air purification towers have eliminated pollution. Communities are engaged in local food production: We eat crops grown on urban farms, which are almost carbon neutral due to the short supply chain. By 2040, the European Union has successfully achieved its climate neutrality goals. Community initiatives starting in 2025, such as green technology developments and sustainability education, have led to a huge societal transformation. Solidarity between people has been strengthened and equality has become a fundamental principle. The revolution in education has also had an impact on our daily lives: learning has become a lifelong process with a focus on innovation and cooperation. The future has now become a reality, and it is a world that we have dreamed of together.

In the future, the LGBTQ+ across all EU has the same rights as everyone and lives a normal life unafraid ot being prosecuted or hatecrimed. Marriage is legal across all member states, trans people are allowed to be themselves and undergo the necessary procedures to help with their gender journey.

Since 2025 everything has improved. When the war ended in Ukraine and managed to maintain its independence, and is now in reconstruction, Russia has finally accepted and is even helping in that reconstruction. Meanwhile, talks in the Gaza Strip have been going on for centuries and seem to be heading towards peace. The world's population has realized that planet Earth needs help, pollutes less and we can already see a cooler environment.
