A green Europe. In 2040, nature in cities, around cities, in rural areas and in nature areas. Solutions for energy, housing, transport, etc. are designed to improve nature. People value nature and want to live in places with high natural values. It is therefore also important for businesses and cities that natural values are high, as there is still a competition for talent. Businesses design green buildings and work on sustainable circular chains. People also appreciate nature because it helps keep their environment cool when it is warm and remove water from hay abrasives. Droughts are becoming less severe due to vegetation and biodiversity helping to retain water. People see the importance of nature to mitigate the effects of climate change. People feel connected to trees and animals. Watching birds is a popular hobby. People give names to the trees in their city. Nature also makes a spiritual contribution to our health, by walking, taking forest baths or swimming them in nature.

Global warming has stopped, temperatures are falling again, hurray! Cars run on hydrogen and solid-state batteries, one charge lasts 2000 km. Plastic has been largely banned. The internet giants have been put in their place and must act in the same way as public broadcasters. The global population has been shrinking for 15 years. Most plastic has been fished out of the sea.

I want fossil fuels to be a thing of the past, and renewable sources from sun, wind and hydro to cover everything. From households to industry. Solar panels on the roofs of every building give us energy independence. Then the air would be clean, the oceans would be protected and climate change would be stopped. Electric cars and public transport are used. People are becoming more aware of the importance of respecting nature and we are living much healthier lives.

even if it is utopian to write anything about a future that is impossible for me to achieve ( given my age), a dream for my children and mine I might have, to halve the extravagance and selfishness, the thirst for money and power, to live without tax and financial oppression , politicians by the people, in an honest and true way, to try to leave a still livable and enjoyable earth to our grandchildren, to wake up from this deep sleep caused by these vile overlords of a world that is NOT theirs.

I had a dream, the dream of cities that look like villages, islets of trees, plants that separate neighborhoods, more hlm, residences, houses with gardens, collective gardens, plantations of fruit trees and of course, people know each other, help each other, exchange barter, furniture, clothes, food ... there are children playing on the street, they are safe, neighbors monitor them, there is an important associative life and investment, we feel responsible for our "neighborhood-village"
