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 to see a future where there is a safe public space, where there are no lunatics with knives on the streets killing innocent people. I wish that drug addicts and aggressors would be punished severely for their actions and hurting their victims and that our laws would not protect criminals and juveniles. Let criminal liability be reduced and let there be harsh laws and punishments for criminals of violent crimes. Let there be respect, deference and warmth among the people.

I would hope that the world would be a better place to live in, less pollution, less inequality, and offer many opportunities for all, of course no wars to threaten existence . one would also hope that science has solved the many problems that plague us, npn more disease or suffering, food for all. respect for all living forms animal or plant, a kind of garden of eden, but without snakes

I dream of a Europe where everyone can be themselves. Everyone would be happy, not having to be afraid of other people, terrorists, etc. Everyone would have a job and a home. Health care would be good and easily accessible with a low threshold. Europe should be democratic in its decisions, so that one country, for example, cannot reject the majority's wishes. At present, emigration is the cause of the vast majority of street-level fears (drugs, sex crime, violent crime, etc...) and this needs to be addressed. More police officers are needed to patrol e.g. city centres and suburbs. Training should remain at least at the current level (in Finland) and should continue to be free of charge. It could be easier to move to and make a living in other Member States, to make Europe more coherent. People should be supported to eat healthily, at the moment all cheap food is hollow carbohydrates with no nutritional value. So tax breaks for healthy food.

We all live in a world w here our environment is much better and the forests are slowly coming back to life. There are fewer dead trees because the air is cleaner and less polluted with CO2. We have found various ways of producing less CO2 and removing it from the air. Private transport still exists and it is not just electric cars that are on the road. Overall, cars have become much smaller again because nobody needs such large vehicles anymore. People in large cities are also using bicycles of all kinds much more, so the number and width of roads has been significantly reduced. Everything is much greener. Wind, water and solar energy is widespread and can be produced and stored in sufficient quantities. Coal-fired power plants have been largely abolished and nuclear power has not been developed further. Heating has been reduced to a reasonable level in relation to oil and gas because these options have been significantly improved and produce even fewer emissions. People live much more with each other than against each other. The economy is still doing well because less unnecessary things are produced and goods last much longer and can even be repaired. Agriculture produces in reasonable quantities without doing so in places where, for example, water is not available in sufficient quantities for plants, people and animals.
