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.

I wake up on a warm, sunny morning. I go down for breakfast and turn on the television. I begin to listen and feel that the climate in the world has improved, that glaciers have resumed to form and that new technologies are allowing to cultivate vast desert areas allowing to improve the lifestyle of many populations. The air has returned breathable across the globe and that although slowly closing the hole in the ozone. The seas have returned to repopulate with fish and that the collection of plastic abandoned in the past is proceeding quickly

Ritorno dalla Brexit
Sicuramente più sostenibile, con le nuove tecnologie sempre più sviluppate e soprattutto con una pace sociale derivata dal rilancio dell'economia veicolato dal reddito universale europeo. Utopistico? Forse. Così come lo è l'idea di un Europa unita che non ho mai abbandonato, e che immagino anche col ripensamento dei britannici

It is the year 2040, and the whole world is at peace. At last all wars are over, people no longer fear for their safety. Because not only that there is peace everywhere, there are also no robberies, thefts and gang fights. All countries have united to fight for the future of the earth. Everyone is making sure that future generations live well, that climate change does not make life more difficult. I hope it will be so. that people understand that everyone is responsible for making sure that our planet resists the adverse changes that are destroying it as long as possible.

I would like a greener future with people responsible to the world. Less capitalism, less consumerism, less individualism with people living with fewer things because they don't need to have houses full of objects and closets overflowing with clothes they don't use (and don't need) I would like people to use their cars less, even do without them at all, using instead public transportation (which should be efficient and free) or the bicycle, which is also good for them because it gets some exercise. I would like children to be made responsible and independent already, to be able to get around on their own and help with household chores because the load should no longer be only on women but divided among everyone in the family.
