In 2040, I envision a world profoundly transformed by technology and social change. Cities will likely be smarter, complemented by smart infrastructure that optimizes resource use, reduces pollution, and improves quality of life. Transportation will be electric and autonomous, with cars, trains and planes moving without human intervention, reducing traffic and increasing efficiency. Technology will continue to evolve, with artificial intelligence playing a crucial role in our daily lives, from personalized medicine to home management. There will be devices that can monitor our health in real time, anticipating diseases and improving quality of life.

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.
