It was a sunny morning in Lisbon, and Sofia, now 30, woke up in her completely sustainable home. Since 2035, all residences have used exclusively renewable energy, and the neighborhood where she lived was surrounded by trees and vertical gardens. Before leaving for work, Sofia programmed her autonomous electric bike, which would take her to the city center in a few minutes.

As he crossed the streets, he observed how public air transport, implemented in 2040, had transformed urban mobility. Small electric aircraft connected major European cities, reducing travel to a few hours.

At work, Sofia was part of an international team that met in holo-space, a technology that designed 3D holograms of her colleagues scattered across different countries. It reflected how collaboration between countries was essential to combat climate change and eradicate inequality.

At night, while admiring the clear sky from his balcony, he thought about how, between 2025 and 2050, humanity finally learned to live in harmony with the planet.

Ma maison du futur

Always very connected. A detached house that is enough for itself. Photovoltaic panel, water recycling. Have warm in winter and cool in summer. Naturally I have a greenhouse that allows me to eat fruits and vegetables that I produce myself. There will also be cameras for my safety. I would very much like to see other propulsion modes for my vehicle develop, with solar panels to charge my car.

Czy to bajka, czy nie bajka?

A better future... We drive electric cars, and electricity to them is provided by wind and nuclear power plants. Non-organic plastic replaced glass, in a garbage incineration plant with efficient filters made waste pits finally unnecessary. The air in Polish cities is suitable for breathing even in winter, and in summer we are not afraid of drought and lack of water. And instead of arming, we spend money on health protection and equal opportunities for children and adolescents. All this may be possible, but I'll put it between the fairy tales...

Den gröna framtiden

I would like to see a future where there has been a major change for the benefit of the environment and the future of the planet. Solar, wind and hydropower have replaced fossil energy sources. Buildings, houses, etc. are equipped to be self-sufficient both in terms of energy and, for example, basic raw materials such as potatoes and the like. Public transport has switched entirely to electric vehicles and there are incredible high-speed trains that can compete with flights between major cities.

Naturen er reddet

You have invented a technology that effectively breaks down CO2 from the atmosphere and you are back to a world without climate change. The gardens are healthy with beautiful coral reefs and full of fish. In the North there is winter with long periods of snow. Farther south in Europe there are rarer forest fires and normal amounts of rain that give good breeding. There are no climate refugees. They appreciate nature more and seek it out often. Animal welfare is also an important focus area and you eat less meat. Smartphones and computers are used less often, and you are less accessible by phone/mail both privately and at work.
