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.

So Europe in 2040. I would like to see much more cooperation and much less lying. I will talk about that a little later. A green future, of course, but not at any price, a much slower and actually environmentally friendly transition. This is particularly true of the car industry and the jobs in it. I predict that in 2040 a lot of transport will be by air, so cheaper, faster, safer and preferably with minimal refreshment. Ideally, less should be spent on defence, because that automatically means human lives, and deterrence is a children's story. This is where corporations play a much bigger role than politics. So they need to be controlled and restrained. And the money spent on defence should be invested in social welfare and, of necessity, in research and development. Now, about lying. It worries me when the President of the EU, a person in whom I am supposed to have complete confidence, publicly states that, say, Russia is harvesting electronics from washing machines in order to train its army. That the newspapers show a diametrically opposite picture of what is happening on the battlefield. That the EU has lost a great deal from the sanctions against Russia and nothing to gain. I could go on and on. I believe, however, that the evolution of man has not ended, that the man of the future will be more tolerant, that he will erase all the hatreds within him, that he will be open to everyone and anyone. This will not happen by 2040, not even by 2140, but it is already happening. The question that arises is...will there still be a 2040 for us...

Connectivity
Eu is seen not as one country, but as one unit. Nott divided by borders, but bound together by land. Instead of moving toward silos, goods are flowing freely between the countries, improving living standards, economies, and development exponentially. Transportations are eco friendly and connected between countries. EU is is the leading force in the world.

Endlich auf einem guten Weg
Wir haben als Menschheit den Klimawandel gerade noch gestoppt, nun gilt es gemeinsam sich gegen die natürlich immer noch bestehenden Starkwetterereignisse, getaute Gletscher und gestiegene Meere zu schützen. Zum Glück wurden 2035 alle Kriege auf der Erde gestoppt und die Völker sind endlich zusammengerückt. Autokratien, Diktatoren und Herrscher, wie sie in der Vergangenheit Gang und gebe waren wurden abgeschafft um sich auf die Menschheitsziele der SDG der UN zu konzentrieren. Auch wurde das kapitalistische Wirtschaftssystem weltweit angepasst, zum Wohle aller Menschen, dies führte zwar zu etwas geringerem materiellen Wohlstand, doch habe die Menschen erkannt, dass es wichtigeres im Leben gibt als Geld, das de facto ja nur ein Tauschmittel ist. Es bleibt eine Menge zu tun, den 100 Jahre wurden verpennt.
