2040's EU: The true and welcoming land of opportunities

I hope and expect that our empathy for those from afar will increase in the next 20 years, and the international mobility of vulnerable people will not be as difficult and exhausting as it is today.

On the one hand, I would like 2040 to be a year in which those who are forced to flee their homes due to human or climatic catastrophes do not face unnecessary obstacles in their flight, resulting from prejudice and discrimination. I close my eyes and I see reception centres which respect and promote human rights, politicians that do not trade with border control measures, administrations that protect vulnerable people, laws that do not curtail human rights under any pretext or justification, and judicial systems that do not deviate from such red lines.

In addition, I also hope that those who cannot develop their full potential in their home country will be able to access the facilities we have in Europe, either to bring that talent back home or to stay in the EU. At present, the legal pathways to access the EU territory are mainly focused on people with higher education, entrepreneurs or people with some purchasing power. However, I believe that the ideal is to open up more circular migration channels through which those who do not have much can have a better future. This is not only "in our interest" because it would reduce irregular immigration, but I believe it should be an obligation, as a significant world power.

In my vision of an ideal 2040, mobility should be open to all - not a headache for those who need to flee or a utopia for those who cannot afford it.

Budućnost Europe 2040. – Održivi gradovi i ekološka ravnoteža

Imagine 2040 - a world where cities are green, smart and sustainable. In my vision of the future, Europe has managed to solve key ecological problems caused by air pollution, climate change and excessive urbanisation. Castles are wastelands of green spaces, vertical gardens and urban farms that provide the world with food. Instead of fossil-fuelled cars, they use electric vehicles or public transport with renewable energy sources. Smart technologies allow optimisation of energy and water consumption, and waste is certainly recycled. Society is also adapted to a sustainable way of life - people are more likely to leave the house, which reduces traffic and CO₂ emissions. The educational system integrates practical ecological knowledge and teaches young people from a young age how to live in harmony with nature. This future is not just imagined - it is possible if we work together. The key is in our creativity, innovation and responsibility.

Mateo woke up in his apartment on the 22nd floor. It was 5am, still dark outside, but the lights of the city were visible and it was beautiful. He went into the living room, got on the treadmill, started running, told the alex to play some of his favorite retro rock and thought about the day ahead. He has to pick up the kids for breakfast and drive them to school in his flying car. Gosh, a flying car. He remembered his father driving him through the streets and telling him how he needed to study to become a lawyer like him. He laughed. Lawyers are long gone, artificial intelligence took their jobs, good thing Mateo quickly found his way into the world of making computer games and got a wonderful job in one of the fastest growing industries. He got off the treadmill, told the domestic robot to make breakfast, made himself some coffee and sat in the chair thinking about his children. What kind of future awaited them in this fast-paced world, what kind of education to steer them towards. At one time everyone told him that there was no future in computer games, but now it was a major profession in this virtual world. He got up and walked towards the children's bedroom, oh children, what a future awaits you.

Budućnost moje države

In 2040 I think that if the situation in Croatia is much worse than it is now, I think that if the number of migrants prevails, many Croats will leave the country because they will be swept away by migrants (Nepalis, Indians, Africans, Turks, Ukrainians...).Tako da ja smatram da bi trebalić već sad polako tjerati sve migrante van države kako nebi bilo gore stanje u 2040.godini za sve nas.Nadaljedeći sljedeći ogromni problema su cijene i inflationcija.Cijene bi trebale spustit i to drastično pošto su stvarno prevelike i ne mogu svi ljudi imati tolko novca.Ako se ne planira smanjiti cijena onda bi trebale povećati plaće i to za duplo više minimalno!Ako se tako nastavi za 20godina cijena jednog običnog kruha će biti do 10eura što stvarno nije normalno ani pošteno.U koliko se to ne promjenić svi mladi će početi napuštati državu u potrazi za moreim životom!!!
