In 2040, at 41 years old, I envision a Europe that is more inclusive, innovative, and environmentally conscious. One of the most important issues for me is sustainable urban living—creating cities that are both technologically advanced and deeply connected to nature.

In my ideal future, cities are designed for people, not just for cars. Public transportation is fully electric, efficient, and free, making private cars almost unnecessary. Green spaces are everywhere—rooftop gardens, vertical forests on buildings, and parks designed to promote biodiversity. Smart technology ensures energy efficiency, with homes powered by renewable sources and waste managed through circular economy principles.

Work-life balance has significantly improved, with remote and hybrid work models allowing people to live in smaller, sustainable communities rather than being forced into overcrowded urban centers. Education is more accessible, personalized, and lifelong, adapting to individual needs and technological advancements.

Socially, inclusivity is at the heart of communities. Policies ensure equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of background, and mental health is given as much importance as physical health. Automation and AI handle repetitive tasks, freeing people to focus on creative, meaningful work.

This future is not just a dream but a possibility—one that requires cooperation, forward-thinking policies, and active participation from all of us. By embracing innovation while staying connected to human values, we can create a Europe that is sustainable, inclusive, and thriving for generations to come.

I hope all the war in Europe will be over and the situation has calmed down again. I hope Europe's economy flourishes and trade across national borders just flows. I also hope that a lot has happened in the field of renewable energy with solar cells, wind turbines and hydrogen cars. I hope that hydrogen has become well intertwined in Europe

I want a world without wars and terrorism, but the reality is that there will be more and more of this. Digital literacy will be much more developed, as will artificial intelligence. Future generations will be more protective of their environment and nature, as it shows us our teeth over the years and will even more remind us by 2040 that we are destroying it too much. The poor will be poorer, the rich will be richer.

Well, as I imagine life in such a distant future, it must take another 15 years until 2040. I'll be you by the time I'm 70, as I imagine this life in 15 years. Well, I would like to build a large heating plant, of course ecological, which would use the energy of the sun and which would produce pr ad and heat for a small price. I would also like to see centers for the development of friendship and care, so that every person, regardless of age, can experience friendship. so that , children are taught in schools how to develop social competences, so that these important values, which were very much cared for by the kid, are returned, i.e. honesty, care, selflessness, empathy, so that people are good and friendly to each other. I also hope that Poland will fight for its position in Europe, and not, as we are now, a backwater, thanks to our politicians who have the interests of the country and the nation somewhere.

That there is peace in the world. It starts on the street that everyone treats everyone with respect. That there are no wars among the peoples. That we get climate change under control and not so much is destroyed by heat, drought and floods. That the economy is on the right track, that all people have good work and that they can afford everything and that prices do not rise to the bottomless.
