Especially recently, I feel that in many areas we are not going well. However, two seem to me to be the most critical points for change: (a) the large climate chapter, and (b) the gradual elimination of active citizenship, who is interested in their fellow citizens and the community to which they belong/are part of/live.
In 2040, therefore, we will ideally have achieved any change that can still occur in terms of climate change. The temperature will remain stable at current levels, the glaciers will continue to suffer, heat fires will have been reduced, etc. The ways we have achieved this achievement will be holistic and long-term, so that they will have an effect and duration (e.g. in Paris they are trying to unlock rivers and streams in order to bring down the temperature, while at the same time taking the public through the installation of air-conditioning units, which would raise the temperature of at least 2 degrees in the city). Of course, this approach is linked to the second strand of the described future, that of active citizenship. In order to achieve this, the people of the Earth will have changed mindsets, the sense of responsibility we all have towards the planet, not only in theory, but in substance, has been strengthened. The world will have mobilised, realising that changes are not taking place by writing 2 whistle-blower paragraphs on the internet that may inspire a proportion of the world, but so far, but need concrete actions, which are organised, cooperative, shared and mass. As active citizens, we will enjoy solidarity, conspiracy and mutual support for each other’s fellow citizens, building on and strengthening the concept of public space vis-à-vis the private one. Everyone’s altruism, feeling of inclusiveness and empathy will have increased.
Every action and every attempt to make a positive change is part of a chain, where each link is linked to the others and it is impossible to fundamentally change the situation if we do not act comprehensively and through all the parts that make up the living system.

Memoiren

I think the digital revolution will continue. I fear that my and older age groups will be out of step with the innovations. I think my then adult children's jobs will look different and be even more digitized. Hopefully prosperity will be largely restored after the Third World War that Russia unleashed along with America against Europe. We also still need to further acclimate and adapt to the shifted climate zones and many natural disasters.

It will certainly be better, because there will be no armed conflicts and others. People and decision makers will understand that this is wrong and unnecessary. I will already be an old woman. With the development of medicine and good care from my family and rehabilitation centers, I will enjoy good health and fitness. There will be no jealousy, because it serves no purpose. Unless it has a positive aspect, e.g. since everyone knows several languages, I will also try to learn them, although I am already an old person. Europe is and will be a beautiful, united continent, without nationalism. Everyone has already understood that life is one. Humans, animals and plants are so important to each other that you have to take the best care of the environment. You don't need so much to live. Work is now and will be very important. People will work longer, because good health and willingness to work will allow them to do so. It will be very important to raise the next generations well. The young will take care of the elderly and learn from their experience. Why the huge estates and palaces. Beautiful, clean small family houses will suffice. Their surroundings taken care of. The younger generation will learn to work solidly and do their duties well. May there be a seat in front of the computer, although they will be even more perfect. Nothing in the world can replace the importance of close and mutual contact with each other. Nothing will change that, and everyone will understand that.

Grön rättvisa

År 2040 har den gröna omställningen gått helt i rätt riktning. Man har byggt ut cykelvägar (med uppvärmning vintertid för säkrare cykling), de flesta kör miljöbilar och det är nästan pinsamt om man kör en diesel- eller bensindriven bil. Flickor i hela världen har äntligen fått börja skolan, kvinnor slipper vara rädda när de går ut på kvällarna och världen har blivit en mer kärleksfull och trygg plats. Våldtäktsmän straffas på rätt sätt, mobbare är de som får byta skola, kvinnor i våldsamma relationer slipper fly till skyddade boenden då männen som utsätter dom är de som får ta konsekvenserna.

Spet ljudje

After some radical upheavals, we are in a beautiful sunny spring. The seasons have changed, we are the last generation that still knows what it was like in the last millennium. But one gets used to everything, changes happen wherever the Earth stands and they have to be accepted. Finally it has happened, people have calmed down and focused on the joy of life, they have started to socialise and exchange. Previously fascinating advances in technology have become a necessary part of everyday life, but they have not succeeded in tearing people apart and throwing them into an otherwise voluntary isolation and self-centredness. Children chase each other around the meadows and help themselves to the fruit on the neighbour's pear tree, with their furry friends. Mothers know that children naturally develop into adults and responsible persons, having been deprived of this themselves. People have become tolerant, less egoistic and, as a result, happier. They have managed to turn technology and all changes in their favour, for the common good. Around us are smiling and sociable faces, aware of the role of their culture for future generations.
