Sustainable future

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I want to see a future where there is a more stable democratic geopolitical situation than today. The current situation in Europe and the world feels very volatile and much more unsafe than then I was younger and seems to be highly driven be extreme-right party political perspectives and people in power that tends to want a future that is more like the past - focusing on power of the past rather than technological progress and focusing on a future where we can live on our own planet. In 2040 I see Europe with a higher line of borders towards Russia and with a slowly healing relationship with the U.S. after large trust issue that has risen over many years from a U.S. goverment recovering from the current reshaping to past values. I see a European economy on a rise after years with an unstable situation. I also see much struggle and migration of people based on the increasing severity of climate changes that have only gotten worse over the past decades and a northern Europe struggling to get ready for the apparent future with colder weather due to the failing of the golf stream.

Births take place painlessly, which results in an increase in the number of children. Better organized public transport was introduced, which relaxed traffic jams and reduced air pollution. We have discovered a new, inexpensive way to recover water from rain.

Stipri ir konkurencinga Europa be migrantų
I would like Europe to be safe, there would be no more migrants who break the law and exploit Europe's legal loopholes and people's goodness. I would like the European economy to be the strongest in the world, with manufactured goods meeting standards and being a sign of cocube in the world. I would like Europe to have a political backbone and a greater concern for the people of Europe and their well-being

Europa mojego dzieciństwa w przyszłości
A safe and strong Poland, open to each other, at the same time nurturing and defending its traditions and cultures. International exchanges, cooperation between countries but guarding their integrity. Modern and developing, at the same time defending against giving one's life fully to digital values. Full of greenery and caring for what the earth has given us, defending the environment. Ensuring decent living conditions for citizens, accessible housing and decent wages, defending democracy.

Spokojený svět
By 2040, our society and that of the world will be so prosperous that people will not be reduced to scams, thefts, tunnelling, or even wars. The land will belong equally to the rich and the poor. We will protect nature, not devastate it, because we will finally realize what it can give us if we take good care of it and protect it. People will not starve because there will be enough food for everyone. It will be a world of abundance and satisfaction for all, both for humans and animals. We will not envy each other because everyone will have the basics and it will depend only on each of us how we arrange it. It will be a world where one can live happily, and for diseases for which there are no medicines yet, immediate diagnosis and treatment will be possible.
