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.

Futuro para todos
It's 2040 and a lot has changed. Things for the worse and things for the better. We've managed to make the planet more sustainable, to give way to gardens with lots of trees. We've also managed to achieve a better distribution of wealth, with the rich no longer as rich and the poor no longer as poor as they were in 2025. We have also managed to almost eradicate the word "homeless". Why? Because they hardly exist anymore with the new "home for all" program, in which we have managed to give people in difficulty a decent life.

Közös cselekvés, közös jövő
I hope that the EU will finally have a unified defence policy to prevent and prepare for security challenges and wars. I also hope that the income gap between countries will narrow, and that regions and countries that are currently lagging behind in development will catch up with those that are prospering economically.
