Worse for most, good for few

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

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.

Altid et enigt Europa
Europe! Hopefully, there will always be a Europe where you get to know each other, a place where you can live in peace and freedom, where you can travel freely from one country to another. Even if we speak different languages, even if we have different cultures, for many hundreds of years, we will still and always, stand together and respect each other, we will still help around the world.

Naiivne ilus lootus
The world finally sets its limits and the wars are over. The selfish assholes have been removed from power, and all people have become so smart that they no longer choose them. Insane consumption and waste has returned to normal. Bureaucracy in all areas has been reduced to a minimum. Children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren have a home, have a rewarding job and many learning and happy children. All kinds of robots and other technical gadgets help people and do not pollute nature. The lush forest is still green and the waving sea is blue and the sun is strokingly warm.

Mobility in Europe in 2040 will be significantly more sustainable, smarter and more efficient. Electric vehicles will replace combustion engines, while hydrogen technologies will dominate freight and public transport. High-speed trains and hyperloops will replace short flights between cities, significantly reducing travel times and emissions, while autonomous vehicles and intelligent transport systems will make movement smoother in cities and on motorways. Traffic lights, car parks and public transport will be linked to digital infrastructure, ensuring efficient real-time traffic management. Shared mobility, such as autonomous taxis and electric scooters, will reduce the number of private cars.Overall, transport will be greener, faster and tailored to the needs of citizens. Smart cities will support the shift to sustainable forms of transport and improve quality of life across Europe.

After the alliance in 2025 between Trump's United States and Putin's Russia, European states have finally realized the importance of acting as a true confederation even in the most concrete areas. In energy policies, movement of goods and people and even in defense and mutual aid. Unity is strength and now we again have an important place corroborated also by the added numbers that give us different weight in all areas, both in environmental policies aimed at the care and conservation of the planet with solutions that are economically sustainable. Preserving cultural differences and taking and pooling technical and technological knowledge for the good of all Europeans.
