Rewitalizacja środowiska

The year 2040 is a period that could be a moment of huge breakthroughs for humanity, especially when it comes to ecology and climate change. One of the most important challenges I would like to see resolved by then is the crisis of environmental degradation and deforestation.

I imagine that in 2040 we managed to significantly stop the processes of environmental destruction. Cities are dominated by greenery and natural areas, where sustainable development is not just a slogan, but a daily practice. The use of green technologies such as solar panels, hydrogen cells and widely used recycling and composting make cities virtually CO2-neutral.

Modern, intelligent traffic management systems, powered by renewable energy, make public and personal transport much more efficient, and electric, autonomous and low-emission cars become the norm. The common public space is designed to integrate nature and give people the opportunity to commune with it on a daily basis, and green areas are integrated into city centers, turning them into more friendly and healthy places.

Forests that have been destroyed in previous decades are being systematically restored thanks to advanced biotechnology and global afforestation efforts. Sustainable forest management supports ecosystem restoration, and AI-based technologies monitor and analyse the state of the environment, enabling rapid responses to threats and minimising damage.

We also have a new model of permaculture-based agriculture, where artificial fertilizers and pesticides have been replaced by natural cultivation methods, and food production is local, organic and adapted to the needs of the community, with minimal impact on the environment.

In this better future, every social and political decision takes into account the impact on ecosystems, which makes us finally create a world that works in symbiosis with nature, not against it. The future of 2040 is therefore a place where people understand that our health and well-being are closely related to the condition of the planet.

Realistische Dystopie
In 2050, the earth will not be a better place than it is today. People will still be fighting senseless wars and hatred will not have been overcome in either the real or the virtual world. Resources will become scarcer in some areas, but intensive research has found ways to largely compensate for this. The division of the world has also changed. Countries that used to play a leading role in the economy and politics have, in some cases, become insignificant players on the brink of regression from industrialized to emerging economies as a result of bad decisions by egomaniacal politicians. Neither their energy supply nor the shortage of skilled workers can be brought under control. Religious beliefs will play a greater role and minorities will often dictate to majorities how they should behave. Woke-ness will largely eradicate feminism, so that everything women have fought hard for for decades will dissolve into nothing. We are abolishing ourselves, human dignity, human rights and democracy because we make everything equally bad and insignificant out of a misunderstood understanding of tolerance. Only the stupidity of humans will not die out, but will become even greater, while the AI secretly laughs and is happy not to be homo "sapiens".

Familie
I would like it to be easier to build and convert houses. That young families are given more support so that they can have a secure home. I also hope that my children are better supported by the state in their own child planning and that they feel financially secure during their parental leave

Le temps qui passe
The morning sun filtered through the dense foliage of the trees lining my Parisian apartment. Once a gray, noisy avenue, my street was now a verdant oasis, where birdsong replaced the roar of cars. The transformation of Europe had been radical. In 2025, we were on the brink of a climatic precipice. But a global awakening had taken place. Europe had embarked on an ambitious reforestation and sustainable development project. Cities were redesigned, and nature reclaimed its rights. Gasoline-powered cars disappeared, replaced by electric vehicles and efficient public transport. My day began with a bike ride along the old tracks, now transformed into winding cycle paths through parks and forests. Lunch consisted of fresh, local produce grown on rooftops and in community gardens dotted around the city. The afternoon was devoted to work, but even the offices were green and bright, with open coworking spaces and soothing views of the surrounding nature. Life in 2050 was slower, more conscious. We had swapped the frantic race for a pace more respectful of our environment and well-being. Europe had become a model of sustainable development, a society where technology and nature coexisted in harmony. And every day, I was delighted to have contributed, in my own small way, to this transformation.

Un espoir de bonheur collectif.
A European future capable of managing international crises with clear and precise objectives. Perhaps a new constitution less oriented towards a liberal economy (which doesn't mean freedom at all) but more towards respect for individual freedoms in relation to multinationals, more ecology, more autonomy in terms of food self-sufficiency. A greater capacity for energy autonomy, too, by being inventive in this area. Mass investment in research in this field would be an option. Regaining our pharmaceutical sovereignty would be reassuring. It would also be reassuring to see a return to social progress, and to stop blaming the weakest members of society (women, the unemployed, immigrants, etc.), who are not responsible for the crises we're going through. The culprits are the economic system (mainly liberal) and over-protected professional politicians. Limiting personal fortunes might be an interesting way of avoiding an oligarchic drift.
