2050. Sunrise over Rome's Old Town paints the sky a soft orange colour. The city wakes quietly, but already the whisper of electric vehicles and the light gust of wind carrying the salt of the Mediterranean can be heard.

Europe has changed dramatically in the last 25 years. The climate crisis has forced countries to focus on renewable energy, and cities have become greener, with polluting cars virtually disappearing from the streets, replaced by autonomous electric cars and bicycles. Food production has also changed: vertical farms have solved product shortages and lab-grown meat has become a common choice.

Today, my plans include a quick trip to Paris on the hyper-trains that now connect all Europe's major cities. The journey will take just an hour - time for a cup of coffee and a short chat with friends via hologram. Life has become more convenient, but have people become happier? That's what we're still looking for.

Demokratisierung der EU

The European Union is economically stronger. Democracy has finally prevailed, the EU Parliament, the EU Commissioners and the EU President are now directly elected by the EU population and are no longer decided in backrooms. The EU bureaucracy has been reduced to 25% and is no longer allowed to impose bans or restrictions on the basis of an EU constitution. The EU has become more liberal and the individual states are once again sovereign.

The way we work will change. Teleworking in the roaring years gave an impetus to the fact that work no longer requires a physical presence in the office for all jobs.By 2040, work will be done four days a week. This will allow for a greater degree of disengagement from work for time off. Nature and being close to nature will become an important part of people's well-being. Our environment will demand greater attention as a result of climate change. We work with respect for nature. We will return closer to nature. Local food, local tourism, work will also be done nearby, the need to travel will be reduced.

Die große Hoffnung

The EU becomes the largest economic crisis nation. The nations have fewer rights and less influence as they give the EU legislative powers. The USA, Russia and China improve their product quality and prices, otherwise the EU destroys their economies with sanctions. Through this power, the EU stabilizes large parts of the Middle East and Africa.

Die Heilung der Menschheit

I hope that we will be spared wars until 2040 and beyond. The past has shown that it can only be negative and we should have learned from that. I hope we have a future in which diseases such as cancer or Alzheimer's can be cured and accidents can be prevented by modern technology.
