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.

I would certainly be happy if people were nicer to each other, they would have the opportunity to not so much to download and the work would be shorter and also would not be generally more demanding and harder things will be done for us by robots and partly by artificial intelligence. Also the food would be more nutritious and hearty, thus ensuring lower starvation

Mein Wunschtraum

A future that has it all. There are no more politicians. People have finally realized that they only want to cause unrest and exercise power. Let's manage our money like any good family man does. We've had almost 100 years of peace and haven't managed to build up any assets in that time. Instead, we have accumulated debts for many generations to come. For what? Committees, associations, institutes and many others. Every citizen had a deputy assigned to them. Great. Who is actually still working? Those were the conditions in 2040. Now we only have employees who execute existing laws. Is that enough?

The planet would recover through massive ecosystem restoration projects. Deforested areas would be reforested, the oceans would be cleaned of plastic waste and biodiversity would increase by protecting endangered species. Cities would be full of greenery - vertical gardens on buildings, parks on every corner and urban farms would be a way of life.

Oteplování

It's 2040, and the country's average temperatures have risen, leading to more frequent summer heat waves and warmer winters. Droughts have become more frequent, causing problems for agriculture, especially grain and vegetable production. Farmers had to adapt their cultivation methods and introduce more efficient irrigation methods. Floods have also become more frequent due to the rapid melting of snow in the mountains. On the positive side, however, there has been a great development of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, and most cities have become greener.
