Europe of the future - 2050
I wake up in the morning, and the sun's rays penetrate through the window await me. There is silence outside, interrupted only by bird songs. I turned on my smart mirror, and it shows news about the latest developments in the world - all related to sustainable development and the integration of technology into people's daily lives.
After breakfast, I go to work. The city is no longer congested, as most people move with autonomous electric vehicles. There are no exhaust gases in the air, and the city parks are full of greenery and flowers.
My work is related to artificial intelligence. I am part of a team that develops new medical solutions. We are working to enable faster and more accurate diagnosis of diseases with the help of AI, as well as to develop personalized treatment plans for each patient.
After work, I meet with friends. We go to one of the city's many restaurants, where food is prepared from local and seasonal products. After dinner, we go to a concert with musicians from all over Europe.
The day has been filled with events, but I feel happy and pleased. I live in a Europe focused on sustainable development, technology and human well-being. I hope that in the future Europe will become an even better place to live.
The Story of Change
Between 2025 and 2050, Europe has undergone profound changes. The shared vision and work of citizens, politicians and experts has led to significant progress in many areas:
* Sustainable development: Europe has become a leader in sustainable development. Pollution has been reduced, renewable energy sources have become key and effective solutions for waste recycling have been put in place.
* Technology: Technology is integrated into people's daily lives, making life more comfortable and efficient. Artificial intelligence is used in medicine, education and other fields.
* Social well-being: The well-being of citizens has improved. Poverty and inequality have decreased and everyone has access to quality education and healthcare.
I hope that this story will inspire people to act now to build a better future for Europe.

What a relief we have left behind in the 1920s with all that succession of intertwined crises that seemed impossible to resolve! What a relief that we no longer have to think about whether democracy is in danger or live in the permanent uncertainty of whether there will be a reactionary retreat from everything that cost us so much to win! Just as we were finally aware of the physical limits of the planet and the doughnut economy succeeded capitalism, we were also aware of the limits of our democracies with mass debates that prevented (at last!) cruel authoritarian demagogues who did not believe in the values of democracy from seizing power again. I don't know how we could live with this permanent anguish... . No more gerontocracies, no more idycracies, no more techno-auritarism, no more perpetuation in power. AI is no longer a private business of billionaires who (finally!) were forced to distribute 90% of their fortune, as had already happened in the 50s of the last century. It has put itself only at the service of solving the great problems of the world. What a relief too that money no longer moves the world! All this was possible because the Constitution of the Land of Ferrajoli was approved and launched in 2030, the Magna Carta that protected all our global problems. The nature of which we are a part and without which we cannot live is especially protected. The Constitution provides a framework for everything to be solved diplomatically. Since its approval, the wars have ended and the genocidal people of the past have been severely judged. Yesterday we celebrated the feast of #Nevermore. If I have to describe what life is like now, the word that comes out is calm. Without constant threats to our safety and well-being, day-to-day life is placid.

A world of citizens

Strenghtened EU-level, even global, governance mechanisms. Human-centered technology Limits to accumulation and consumption, especially for the super rich Vibrant ecosystem for new businesses Private initiative, public Administrations, and non-profits working side by side on big societal and environmental issues A post-growth economy based on sufficiency High quality of democracy High citizen participation

Global warming under control Several actions taken - by local communities, governments globally, schools and universities, corporations and myself and my colleagues - have determined the change in the global warming landscape for the better. The actions are implemented and mapped and are maintained in periodic execution according to plan. Floods, storms, landslides, excess rain and drought minimized monitored and minimized.

I care about our quality of life. I believe that we have drifted away from our human nature and consequently from nature/environment, which - let us not forget - we are its species. This of course has an impact on many things and first of all on health. I would like to see human-centred policies implemented in all aspects of everyday citizenship. To put people, their mental health, their personal progress and flourishing first. To pay attention to how satisfied (and why not, happy) people feel about their lives. What really matters to them?
