Um dia na Europa de 2050

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

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.

I would like to see easier access to housing in a better future. So that you don't have to collect half your life for a down-payment and pay a mortgage for the rest of your life. That it would be possible to live without worrying about "your place." I wish that in 2040 people, like in the days of our parents' youth, could get together, spend time together and that no one would feel lonely. Now everyone is a "lonely island" and social ties and friendships are increasingly degraded. I wish that in the future someone would pay attention to this problem and that there would be no need, as in the UK, to create a Ministry for Loneliness.

Probably in 2040 I will no longer be there but I hope for all those who will have a Europe of true peace, of true inclusion, of true sharing. More honesty, less violence, more well-being, more equality, more attention to the climate. A true union of all the countries that are part of it, united to improve the continent of Europe!

The EU is economically strengthened and consolidated. As regards military security, the EU has an army responsible for securing and defending the border (so-called professional army). Every EU citizen between the ages of 18 and 25 is obliged to work for 18 months, alternatively in the social sector.

The Europe of the future has emancipated itself from the USA and presents a self-confident and united front to the outside world. Nevertheless, the original European values will not be watered down, but will be resolutely defended against the world's major power blocs. A strong European Union with a strong military potential, but one that is used defensively. Internally, the governments of the individual European countries have learned that a united Europe is the only way to deal with the rest of the world, and the principle of unanimity has been abolished.
