In the year 2040, many things look better and more peaceful again: Trump and Putin are no longer, the wars in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip are over, Ukraine, including Crimea, belongs to the Ukrainians again, and a sovereign Palestine has been established. Politicians are younger on average and represent the population better than the rich.

In the future, people should learn to take care of each other again and focus more on life and less on work. The media and computer-aided world makes everything faster every day. Technology should be used more to support people than to challenge or even overwhelm them on a daily basis. Life has to take place outside again and not in dark rooms where mobile phones shine and absolute silence reigns.

A Sustainable and Equitable World in 2040 In 2040, I envision a world where sustainability and equity are at the core of society. Clean energy powers cities, with solar, wind, and fusion technology eliminating reliance on fossil fuels. Climate change is under control due to global cooperation, reforestation efforts, and advanced carbon capture. Technology serves humanity, not just profits—AI and automation create opportunities rather than displacing workers, thanks to universal basic income and lifelong education programs. Healthcare is accessible to all, with breakthroughs in personalized medicine and disease prevention. Communities are more connected, fostering inclusivity and mutual support. Global poverty and hunger have drastically declined, and people live healthier, longer, and more fulfilling lives. This is a world where progress benefits everyone, not just a few.

I imagine that in 2040 we will have more options for transport. I would like to see cars which can be fueled from natural sources like sun for example, and which can also be turn into personal flying objects so I would be able to choose if I would travel by land or by air in my car. It would allowed less traffic on the roads and easier, and quicker traveling.
