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.

Svetla prihodnost polna optimizma

I want a diocratic europe without neo-Nazis, without people who want power not for money but to make a difference. I want to see as much connection to public transport as possible, as few cars as possible in city centres. I want the protests to be repeated, so that Slovenia can finally get rid of Janez Jansa. That we succeed in limiting global warming. That it is easier for young people to get their first jobs and to get housing.

Continuing the trend of "all for nature conservation and animal welfare". The official line is to tackle climate change, which is the culprit for all changes, good and bad, that really have nothing to do with it. Local communities realise that cooperation is better than competition, but they don't know what that really means. What happens at global level is transferred to local level and the trends are expected to be the same - warming everywhere, weather extremes everywhere - which is not really the case. Instead of warming, it is colder, because there is the effect of 'cold water coming out of the radiator', which cools everything down.

In 2040, I think Europe has a stronger economy and is no longer seen as a continent stuck in the past. More jobs, less crime, less unnecessary immigration and a strong common belief that Europe can handle problems together and not rely on the US to support it all the time. I think we need to have a common defense budget and not make too many laws that make the work difficult for the member states. Environmental work should continue and the continent should take steps to catch up in technology development and not rely on Asia or America.

In 2050, the world has changed in ways that would have seemed like science fiction only a few decades ago. Green spaces have spiralled skywards, interspersed with urban skyscrapers that breathe with the pattern of artificial intelligence. Cities glowed at night in a bioluminescent landscape, replacing street lights with shimmering pathways that changed colour according to the mood of the people walking by, thanks to state-of-the-art biofeedback technology.
