In 2040 I wish the world had good in environmental terms, better in the health system and innovation of discoveries of cures for various and serious diseases (especially children), better in education, better at the end of crime and increasing the birth rate with various birth aids! May peace be heard in all the countries of the world!

By 2040, I imagine a world where sustainable urban life has become a reality. Cities are clean, green and energy efficient. Buildings use almost exclusively renewable energy, with electric or hydrogen-powered vehicles being the most used for transport. Urban spaces are full of community gardens, which not only provide food, but also strengthen community cohesion, and which people enjoy using. Waste is almost entirely recycled or composted and circular economy principles are applied at all levels. People are healthier because the air is clean and cities are designed to be easily walkable on foot or by bicycle. In this future, technology and human well-being go hand in hand: intelligent systems optimise energy use and urban planning prioritises human needs while respecting nature. People live in harmony with their environment and the effects of climate change have been minimised. This future would represent a world where sustainability is not a compromise but a natural part of everyday life.

I was born in 1991 and dreamed of a greener, more livable world as a child. It's 2040, and this morning, as I walk through the park of the city, I'm delighted to see these dreams come true. There have been huge changes in the last 15 years. In 2025, the European Union launched the "Green Renaissance" programme to restore forests and wetlands. Since then, the fauna has bloomed again: species on the verge of extinction have returned and our cities have been intertwined with habitats. Education has also changed. Learning institutions have become interactive learning spaces with the help of modern technology, where children can learn in close proximity to nature. There have been breakthroughs in healthcare: There are futuristic hospitals in every city, where AI and nanotechnology guarantee personalized healing. This is the Europe of the future: green, innovative and human-centric.

A non-monetary society where work is shared by the world and everyone benefits from it. Most of the physical work would be done by machines, and the rest by people who might even feel that kind of movement as a hobby. The value of intellectual labor would be greater, but not expropriated, to avoid inequality. Countries would not be led by politicians, but by professionals who could speak from experience. Climate change and insufficient food production are likely to continue to be huge problems in the future, as they stem from the physical state of the planet, but could be greatly improved if the above-mentioned non-wealth-based society ceased to exploit the planet's resources. If the pace of change increases, it is likely that in the future a large part of society will already understand that the environment should be exploited in a much more responsible way. A lot of unnecessary technology will be replaced by universally operating systems, which countries would also develop together to ensure that it is good for everyone.
