By 2040, communities across Europe are living on renewable energy, sustainable agriculture and efficient water management. Rainwater harvesting is a standard practice in every household, reducing water waste and ensuring a clean, self-sufficient supply. Cities run on decentralized, green energy grids powered by solar, wind and water sources. Public transportation is fully electric and urban areas are designed for walking and biking. Small businesses thrive with local, sustainable production supported by county governments that minimize waste. Technology is improving daily life and creating a balance with nature, ensuring a healthier, greener and more resilient future for all.

Weapons of war are banned worldwide by consensus, and all use of force against other countries is prohibited. All of this is controlled by artificial intelligence, which heavily penalises those who do not comply. There is a very strong focus on ecology and technology, with no planes flying, no oil-powered ships sailing. People work for pleasure because of artificial intelligence and robots. There is no money, there is no need for money - everything is made by robots. People live for pleasure - travel, holidays, sport. Every year there are the Olympic Games. Borders between countries are practically non-existent, they have lost their meaning.

In 2040, I will be 98 years old. I hope that I'm still alive and that my current ailments have not worsened. If I have deteriorated and moved into a nursing home, I hope there are still staff to meet my needs and wishes. I hope my children, children-in-law, grandchildren and great-grandchildren? will come and visit me. Most of all, I hope that there is more peace in the world and that the climate is under control so that future generations can grow up in security.
