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.

Humanity would pay attention to the environment and wildlife. Political decisions would be made with the desire to have the least impact on nature. There would be no more terrorist acts and our children could feel safe. Life would be peaceful.

After graduation I decided to stay here at my home, I remember very well when my parents were forced to choose between a better quality of life, and the most dear affections such as family and roots. Today fortunately it is no longer so, I can safely decide to carry out my profession in any European state and receive the same salary, but above all to be sure that the quality of my life will be the same everywhere. My technical knowledge is equally recognized, and the chances of making a career (while still wanting to start a family) are the same, I just have to decide if I want to stay here or start a new adventure. When I talk about it with mine, I see their eyes become shiny, because they know that anyway I will be happy and I will not have remorse not having to accept compromises. Today I witness many acquaintances who (even if in the last years of work) return to where they were born, will retire and will be serene. It's great to be able to decide: If you're a traveler and you don't have to become one.

In 2040, Europe was developed sustainably, using only environmentally friendly energy sources for electricity production, which are, of course, renewable. Most houses are equipped with a smart management system that optimises the use of energy as much as possible. The air is clean, we have stopped global warming, man is brother to man racism and we have eradicated discrimination

Zukunt für alle
I wish that by then we had managed to save , our planet. Clean, efficient energy is available indefinitely, but there are better alternatives than huge wind turbines that eat the ground. Housing is affordable for everyone and a fundamental right. Everyone has to do their part. There are no more social smears. Public transport, of any kind, is free of charge.
