Together on a healthy earth (Όλοι μαζί σε μια υγιή γη)

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.

The world is in a calmer phase, the storms of the early 2020s have subsided and humanity can enjoy a meaningful life. We have come to our senses, we no longer spend as much as we used to and we do not always aspire to a higher standard of living than the previous generation. A miracle has taken place and our eastern neighbour is peaceful and there too there seems to be a genuine opportunity to discuss differences and also for the borders of the country to remain in place and for neighbours not to be threatened. The problems facing our planet have led most of us to consider our actions more calmly and to prefer a simpler way of life. Personally, I will be 85 years old in 2040, hopefully still living with my spouse of the same age, either in my current home or in a new easier to maintain home, and getting the help I need. My child is middle-aged and will continue to work in his chosen profession and lead a normal good life with its joys and sorrows.

I would like people to follow Christian values and live according to God's Word - the Bible. I would like to see cures for all diseases, especially the currently incurable neurological ones, and for treatment to be available for everyone. I would like everyone to have a job and at least a minimum subsistence level. I would like every child to have a family. I would like to see no stray, abused, tortured animals, no animals used for experiments and pointless entertainment. I would like people to love each other and build beautiful traditional families. I would like to see a reduction in crime, especially violent crime.

Racism in humanity would be reduced, and if we accept differences, we would be more accepting of sexual minorities, for example. It is possible to get married anywhere in Europe, regardless of orientation, to anyone except a relative. More action would be taken against bullying, and the police would also be quicker to take action against cyberbullying. Yokane would feel more secure in his own country, especially in his own country, and in the countries he wants to travel to. Jokanen has the right to be courageously exactly what he is. Bullying seems to get worse every year. Illegal things happen all the time. Everyone should start to influence things themselves, with professionals helping those who cannot. Culture doesn't matter, skin colour can be anything, you can still be a really lovely person, you can't say anything about someone without knowing them. Change needs to happen. Acceptance & respect for others is a very important part of humanity.

Warmer weer en toenemende welvaart.
By 2040, we have figured out that the enegy transition as well as the circular economy were naive pipe dreams. Consumption has continued to rise as has the inevitable use of natural resources. As a result, bad summers have basically ceased to exist and once in a while we can have a BBQ at Christmas and organize large outdoor events, increasing the sense of belonging because working life is increasingly taking place at home and AI plays a dominant role in the workplace. Thanks to increased prosperity, people go on vacation more often and drones have totally changed the way warfare is conducted.
