There is a need to focus on: in current problems or whether there is a future in 2040? (¿Dónde debemos poner el punto de mira: en los problemas actuales o en si hay un futuro en 2040?)

We will live in barely 20 to us? I remember my adult life without being in a crisis. As regards I've had to live together with the rental bubble and the struggle to have the right to housing, as established by the Constituci, One where I work in dignity to live and not live for work. In this context, we are not forgetting about the climate crisis and looking for less polluting cars, if you can buy them, or we want to transport it on a voluntary or collaborative basis.

As a journalist, in the last few months, I have been able to moderate a debate by the Dy logos on the Future, organised by the Espa government, and have covered the Conference on the Future of Europe in Warsaw or have been able to follow a plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg on the ground.
In all of these events, I have been aware of the fact that the young people feel little room for reactionn to change the situation.

Our parents’ general generation was not so informative and was not so aware of the temperature we can have in the summer in Espa a in 2040. Or the scarcity of water that we already live, not only for our crops, but also for drinking or cooking, with the restrictions that are common in many parts of our geography. to continue to tackle the very near future.

We must focus today on: in the high inflaci and energ crisis in Europe? Or if there is a future to continue to live with the current comfort and what we are now, in 2040?

Indeed, I hope that with urgent measures we are in time to reverse some of the serious effects of climate change that we already see, for example with the objectives of the 2030 Agenda or the European Green Deal.

Be aware of our consumption – for example meat and rope –, encourage water saving, take measures such as reducing or achieving zero emissions, commit to circulating the economy, reduce waste and recycle and reuse other materials, seeking new uses, and invest in the use of clean energy so that it can continue to be an energ island. These are measures with which we can live better in 2040, but in order to achieve well-being in the future, we must strive now.

w krótkim skrócie co nas czeka w niedalekiej przyszłości
I think that in 2040 there will be an increase in the gap between rich and poor areas. Unfortunately, wars and conflicts will probably not disappear, and the strongest countries will take advantage of the poorer ones. I am afraid that the level of environmental pollution will continue to increase and in 2024 humanity will have to support itself with some kind of masks with filters. In addition, we will be surrounded by a multitude of robots, which, among others, will mainly be used in areas such as care for the elderly. In addition, education will change completely in 15 years, traditional books, notebooks, exercises will be completely replaced by multimedia content and artificial intelligence will be used to a much greater extent in this area. Thinking about our country, if we maintain the pace of development, the whole country will develop, many areas will be even more beautiful, villages will become even more suburbs and "bedrooms" for larger cities, where professional work will be concentrated.

Civilization has not collapsed—it has been restored.
In 2040, the world has returned to its roots. Families are strong again, with men as providers, earning fair wages for a four-hour workday—enough to support their loved ones comfortably. There is no more endless striving, no exhausting rat race. Life moves at a natural rhythm. Consumerism has been replaced by mindful living. People buy only what they need, and nothing is wasted. Food is grown by local communities, free from corporate control. Every family has a home, built with care, not mass-produced for profit. The sprawling, soulless cities of the past are gone, replaced by self-sufficient villages where neighbors know and support each other. With less work and more time, people reconnect—with nature, with tradition, with family. Children grow up with their mothers at home, learning real values. The world is simpler, freer, and more human. Civilization has not collapsed—it has been restored.

Europa di tutti
2040 is finally the year of true European unity: Russia and the former Soviet states have also joined the EU. To celebrate this milestone, every citizen has had a free train ticket to use to get to know one of the new countries. A way to appreciate the new citizens and to rediscover a slow and eco-sustainable tourism.

A healthier future. It will be possible to replace all sick human organs with artificial ones, even in the brain it will be possible to make certain adjustments. The age of people will be extended, people will be able to work much longer, and demographic problems will be solved. The number of people on earth will stop increasing, and we will eat mostly artificial food.
