As world hasn't gotten into an agreement about changes regarding the climate change the world has gotten much warmer. Population has either started shrinking in areas that are no longer easily habitable or started moving towards better areas which are now getting crowded.
This of course affects health and wellbeing of the population.
Technology/science rushes forwards with the possibility to live off planet sooner rather than later it seems that the option is only for the most wealthy. It is true that technological breakthroughs could also make lives easier and better but at what cost? There are always those who'd profit which in turn makes benefiting from said progress expensive for everyone. Working definitely might change with automatic/remote controlled robots or such. But still the lower classes would'nt have that luxory.

Notes about the quiestionaire. The given/estimated 5 minutes is nowhere near enough time to collect thoughts/visions about possible future. Also there was no option to decline after clicking the link in email as there usually is.

In 2040, the political situation in my country could be very different. All projects funded with taxpayers' money would be public, and there would be no corruption or profiteering. Also, by 2040, the use to which all tax revenues are put could be clearly known, and these taxes should also improve people's lives - for example, fuel excise duty or car tax should ensure that roads are in good condition and seasonally maintained.

In the future, I want there to be a focus on having a healthy and attractive work environment, with opportunities for all people, where you develop as the person you are. There will be a strong focus on young people getting a good education as they did in the happy 80s, when people learned to write by hand and not on digital media... That we forget AI and return to the days when we talked together mentally and not through social media. Taking care of the elderly in nursing homes and making sure they had a good time after a long working life where they had contributed a lot of money to society. A world where Mette Frederiksen and Corona had never existed. Back to Mogens Glistrup and Anker Jørgensen.

Zelená budoucnost

In 2040, I would like to see a world where there is more balance between technology and nature. People would use modern technology to protect the environment instead of destroying it. For example, smart cities would have green roofs, vertical gardens and energy self-sufficient buildings. Transport would be green - electric and hydrogen cars would replace combustion engines. Public transport would be fast, convenient and accessible to all. Healthcare would be more advanced with artificial intelligence to help diagnose diseases. People would have greater access to quality education, regardless of their background or financial situation. Society would be more focused on mental health, and people would have more time for family and personal development. My ideal world in 2040 would be sustainable, just and harmonious.

I believe that the old continent of Europe will be safe and very beautiful in the future, with the disappearance of tyrants and dictators like Putin, and that we will live in peace and happiness, preserving nature and its resources. There will be enough work for four days a week, health care will reach a high level, the average life expectancy of the people will reach at least 100 years.
