Tranquillity

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I survived. After WW3 few have left living as civilization tries to rebuild itself. I work as a butcher and an hunter for our community. I have regular nightmares about how it all started. It started good, europe held against the invaders. As time passed dissidents in the form of immigrants started revolting, changing and sabotazing europe from within. The point of no return happened and nucleard weapons were used. That turned to be devastating to us and the enemy. Most things were destroyed. Now we somehow manage to come by. I live a more happy life than before. No wage slavery, no politics, nothing really just survival. It is peace. It is calm.

Green and social 2040
A future in which all governments around the world are joining forces to leverage climate action, to support developing countries to mitigate and adapt to the consequences of global warming and environmental degradation. In this future, governments hold transparent and open debates with industry, to map the future needs and how education and long-term learning should be adapted to address these new requirements. It is a world, where polarisation is decreasing among citizens and between states based on a common goal: ensuring quality of life and environmental conservation. In 2040, the world I imagine is green, supported by new technologies and changes in behavioural patterns.

Better social conditions (Better social conditions)
When I imagine that I am in 2040 I see my life in a own house with a husband and children with a garden in Germany.Without any afraid to loose my exist for example through unemployment or homeless.I think the social conditions have to improve, in Germany too, although most of the people in Europe think that there aren' t such problems in a rich country like Germany.Sometimes young people with good education don' t get the chance to show and to use their skills cause the goverment do not give the help which they need.Europe can support the success in each country in some years through more opportunities in economy or more rights for social poor people.

Back to the human essence (Terug naar de humane essentie)
Living in a living environment: greener cities, access to shops, schools, work, etc. on walking or cycling distances. If not possible, public transport adapted to the number of commuters on the one hand, but also more sliding working hours to relieve public transport on motorways. If walking, cycling, public transport etc. are not possible, use of electric (shared) cars as an alternative. Cars then no longer determine the appearance of the (urban) landscape. In addition, more public spaces that strengthen (including) community feelings in cities/municipalities.

A well balanced world
In 2040, women can choose to have kids until 55 years old, if their health permits. There is no more so-called biological clock and this is peu a peu changing the whole workforce. Women feel free to work at any age when they're at their best, have more time to study, and can thrive professionally as well as men. This allows the whole society to reconsider work/life but also activity/nonactivity. Parallelly, the minimum revenue is implemented Europe-wide, which helps to reduce the wealth differences between countries. In the end, there is less unemployment, and activity is spread out 50 to 60 years long in a human life, depending on the type of job. Every citizen now works, but works less. It generates enough wealth to keep a European health care system. Slowly European citizens adopt a more frugal life and the happiness gross product is increasing. It creates a climate favorable to more innovation and increases European wealth
