I would really like to see 2 improvements, changes. Firstly, i would really like for wars, aggression and violence to end. They don’t bring any good to any of us. History is repeating itself over and over again. All these horrible acts of violence are unnecessary, and it would only benefit the humanity if they stopped. The second thing is ecological wellbeing. It would be really amazing, if in these 15 years we could clean up at least a part of pollution that we(as humanity) have made. In that way we would be helping our planet and nature to regain it’s strength again and also making our surroundings cleaner, much more pleasant.

In 2040, I imagine that the world will have changed significantly. Technological advances have brought smart cities, using advanced intelligent systems to manage traffic. Cars will drive themselves, and public transport will be fast and environmentally friendly. Energy production is based entirely on renewable sources, such as solar and wind power, which has significantly reduced carbon emissions. People's lifestyles have also changed. Health care is more personalised and technology can be used to anticipate illness before it occurs. Food culture has diversified, with vegetarian diets becoming increasingly popular. Community is important and people are spending more time outdoors in nature, which has improved well-being. All in all, the future looks promising and I hope it will bring peace and sustainable development.

In 2040, cities are green, smart and attuned to people, not cars. Streets are full of trees and air-purifying plants, and the roofs of buildings are covered with gardens and vertical farms that produce local food. Energy comes entirely from renewable sources, and transportation is electric, autonomous and shared. Thanks to advanced urban technology, the cities are resident-friendly - they have plenty of space for pedestrians, and AI systems take care of efficient traffic and resource management. There are no traffic jams or smog, and everyone can get where they want quickly using environmentally friendly transportation. People work less, as artificial intelligence and automation have taken over many monotonous tasks. Society has focused on quality of life, education, mental health and human relationships. Shorter work weeks prevail, and more time is spent developing passions and building communities. Education is accessible to all, and learning is based on hands-on experience and creative thinking. Technology serves people, not the other way around - instead of being addictive, it helps balance digital and real life. It's a world where man and nature coexist, instead of fighting for space. A world where progress means a better quality of life for everyone, not just the few.

In addition to peace in Europe and saving the climate, I want us to have stronger protection for dur. I envision a future where pets, wildlife and livestock are treated well throughout their life span. I see that with AI we have moved beyond the use of animals in experiments. As a fan of guinea pigs, I want modern knowledge on how to keep guinea pigs to be spread among the public so that these beautiful and friendly animals can thrive where they live. I want the unnecessary, commercial breeding of both guinea pigs and other animals to stop; we respect animals on the same level as humans and understand that animals have feelings and a social life just like us.

It's 2040, I feel safe in Europe, I can travel safely and it's safe to be in my own country, Life is so good because I don't have to worry about any riots or wars. Financial stability finally gives you the opportunity to live like a normal person, who doesn't have to live on potatoes for two weeks until the next salary, which will only be enough to pay the bills or feed the children.

Climate scientists agree that with effective joint action, the world's nations have succeeded in curbing carbon emissions. The melting of the ice in the polar regions will be halted. The result has been achieved by negotiating global war bans and focusing instead on developing efficient ways of using the Earth's resources for human survival.

It is very important to me that social issues are resolved and that I can draw a secure pension. The election results must be reflected in the majority of the population and there are no more right-wing parties like the AfD. People live happily and contentedly in their countries and there are no more wars, weapons and nuclear warheads are abolished and destroyed together.

We live in harmony with nature, food is produced regionally, in good quality and with respect for plants and animals. Spending time together is valuable, but we also respect boundaries and individualism. Long-distance travel is not very important; we appreciate the beauty of our immediate surroundings. It doesn't matter how much someone has, only whether they are happy and make a contribution to society.

Permanent world peace has been achieved. Political leaders have agreed that we respect each other's land and sovereignty, so we no longer need weapons against each other. The money saved has been used to tackle climate change and stop the rise in temperatures. Waste collection and recycling has also reached a level where it is beginning to look as if the earth's carrying capacity will last into the next century after all. Income inequalities have been levelled out, both in Finland and globally. We have found new ways of employing young people, for example through longer apprenticeships. Society continues to take care of the disadvantaged, but also by better integrating them. There is no ageism, neither for young people nor for seniors. This is how we can extend working careers. Work will be increasingly independent of time and place, so there will be no need to move in search of work, and we will keep Finland populated to the extent that it makes sense. People's mutual care, community spirit and altruism have increased and selfishness has disappeared. Finland is still the happiest nation in the world, but also the most knowledgeable. Learning and education have risen in value, and in return, culture and art are also valued.

It would be another weekend ahead. We could visit Berlin again. Or maybe Munich. It's so convenient these days, though, to be able to get all over Europe on high-speed trains. In the past, you had to fly or spend hours on boats to get from one place to another. Now, with tunnels and bridges and high-speed railways and trains from Turku to Stockholm and Helsinki to Tallinn, you can get to central Europe and beyond in a few hours.

The future would have changed a great deal, with people of all nationalities, political persuasions, genders and skin colors finally realizing that the planet has been influenced by mankind and that we have all escaped certain death because of our selfishness and our refusal to listen to the climatologists. Thanks to everyone's efforts, the values of tolerance, generosity and sharing are part of our daily lives. Solidarity is back, and its values are once again rooted in us.

It should be our primary goal in Germany to make hard work, for example a second job, lucrative again in the future and to reward it in society through tax relief and not through even higher taxes than in the main job. You lose the motivation to be hard-working and the argument that you are taking someone else's job away with a second job does not apply. On the other hand, all people should be accepted in society and we should be happy to have such diversity. But you should definitely keep an eye on the safety issues because of some people who are dangerous. But you shouldn't lump everyone together, that's unfair to everyone who is honestly happy to live and work in Germany. The big problem will simply be to find a healthy middle ground. To sum up, the task is certainly not easy, but there must be ways to achieve this.
