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 would like the world to be at peace in 2040. I would like the so-called powers of the world not to make deals with each other that result in small countries being wiped off the face of the earth. So that the dictators who are still in power today understand that their actions are unacceptable to the people and are willing to hand over power to the people themselves. I would like to see respect and support for every human being in 2040. Whether they are elderly, children or disabled. So that we can all understand that often disability is not our own doing and that we will all grow old one day. And that by that time we will all have the empathy to accept such people as equals . I very much hope that we will all have enough money to live decently . That we will all be able to live in our own homes , that we will have enough to eat and clean water to drink . That we can get the necessary and effective medical care in case of health problems and that all our children can learn according to their abilities . I would like us all to be happy.

As we grow older, one hopes, of course, that the broken care of the elderly will finally be put right, both here and elsewhere. Help will be available at home as and when the elderly person's condition requires it. There are enough hands and time in home care. This would allow people to live longer in familiar surroundings for as long as possible. A familiar landscape in which to move around according to one's ability. And when it is time to move to a nursing home or service home or similar, there are enough hands and staff to stop and chat and organise activities and pastimes together, respecting the residents until the end. Cities have begun to build large green spaces, for example by extending parks and building large parking structures. This means that many parking spaces on the ground can be demolished and replaced by vegetation. Trees, shrubs and flower chains that provide a variety of habitats for animals. And plants too. A living park is refreshing to visit, if it really is a living park and not a systematic field of trees. Winding paths mimic outdoor trails for the disabled, with winter maintenance. If snow and ice still 2050 are current. Outside urban areas, forest felling has become selective and clear-cutting has been completely abandoned. Species-rich stands of many ages provide space for diverse biodiversity. Wooded fields have become forests again, with a high diversity of vegetation and species, allowing for diversity in other life forms. It is a good place to pick berries and mushrooms, or simply to wander around for refreshment and relaxation in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

Alles anders
Ich wache auf und mache mich fertig für die Arbeit. Im Haus macht mir KI mein Leben leichter. Ich steuere alle Funktionen per Sprachassistent. Autos bzw. ÖPNV fahren alle elektrisch. Wohnungen sind kleiner als heute und voll klimaneutral. Die Arbeitswelt hat sich sehr verändert und die Arbeitszeit hat sich auf 30 Stunden reduziert. Fleisch wird nur noch synthetisch hergestellt.

probabilmente solo un sogno
I would like a future where people can live together and in peace without distinctions of color, religion or sexual preferences, where people are "judged" for how they behave, a future where technology is used to improve people's lives and not to replace them in the workplace and where safety at work is the first place, a future that can guarantee a peaceful life for my grandchildren.
