I imagine that in 2040 a typical day is very different from those of today. I wake up with natural light filtering through smart windows, designed to adjust the temperature and lighting according to my biological rhythm. The air is incredibly clean, thanks to urban reforestation and clean energy that has replaced fossil fuels for years now.

I leave the house without keys or phone: my biometric identifier allows me to access free public transport, which has now replaced almost all private cars. The streets are full of people moving by bike or on foot, while drones deliver essential goods without clogging the cities.

After a coffee with a friend in a place that uses only local and sustainable ingredients, I head to work. The workweek is four days and many activities are automated, leaving us more time for creativity and well-being. Artificial intelligence has not replaced humans, but it helps us in the most repetitive tasks, allowing us to focus on what really matters.

In the evening, I relax in a park suspended between skyscrapers, where greenery intertwines with modern architecture. I look at the clear sky and think about how much the world has changed in the last 15 years: It took crises and bold choices, but we now live in a fairer, more sustainable and connected Europe.
