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.

Budućnost Europe 2040. – Održivi gradovi i ekološka ravnoteža
Imagine 2040 - a world where cities are green, smart and sustainable. In my vision of the future, Europe has managed to solve key ecological problems caused by air pollution, climate change and excessive urbanisation. Castles are wastelands of green spaces, vertical gardens and urban farms that provide the world with food. Instead of fossil-fuelled cars, they use electric vehicles or public transport with renewable energy sources. Smart technologies allow optimisation of energy and water consumption, and waste is certainly recycled. Society is also adapted to a sustainable way of life - people are more likely to leave the house, which reduces traffic and CO₂ emissions. The educational system integrates practical ecological knowledge and teaches young people from a young age how to live in harmony with nature. This future is not just imagined - it is possible if we work together. The key is in our creativity, innovation and responsibility.

Mateo woke up in his apartment on the 22nd floor. It was 5am, still dark outside, but the lights of the city were visible and it was beautiful. He went into the living room, got on the treadmill, started running, told the alex to play some of his favorite retro rock and thought about the day ahead. He has to pick up the kids for breakfast and drive them to school in his flying car. Gosh, a flying car. He remembered his father driving him through the streets and telling him how he needed to study to become a lawyer like him. He laughed. Lawyers are long gone, artificial intelligence took their jobs, good thing Mateo quickly found his way into the world of making computer games and got a wonderful job in one of the fastest growing industries. He got off the treadmill, told the domestic robot to make breakfast, made himself some coffee and sat in the chair thinking about his children. What kind of future awaited them in this fast-paced world, what kind of education to steer them towards. At one time everyone told him that there was no future in computer games, but now it was a major profession in this virtual world. He got up and walked towards the children's bedroom, oh children, what a future awaits you.

Budućnost moje države
In 2040 I think that if the situation in Croatia is much worse than it is now, I think that if the number of migrants prevails, many Croats will leave the country because they will be swept away by migrants (Nepalis, Indians, Africans, Turks, Ukrainians...).Tako da ja smatram da bi trebalić već sad polako tjerati sve migrante van države kako nebi bilo gore stanje u 2040.godini za sve nas.Nadaljedeći sljedeći ogromni problema su cijene i inflationcija.Cijene bi trebale spustit i to drastično pošto su stvarno prevelike i ne mogu svi ljudi imati tolko novca.Ako se ne planira smanjiti cijena onda bi trebale povećati plaće i to za duplo više minimalno!Ako se tako nastavi za 20godina cijena jednog običnog kruha će biti do 10eura što stvarno nije normalno ani pošteno.U koliko se to ne promjenić svi mladi će početi napuštati državu u potrazi za moreim životom!!!
