A fair migration policy (Eine Gerechte Migrationspolitik)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In the future, I would like to see an improved migration policy. Among these, migration policy should be characterised primarily by social justice. This means that everything that is currently in violation of human rights in migration is to be dismantled. This human rights problem includes deportations back to their home country, although refugees have the right to asylum. The aim is therefore to create safe and legal means of escape, so that smugglers are also combated and vessels are not completely overcrowded. By doing so, it will lead to fewer victims in the Mediterranean and thus better respect for human rights.
It is also essential to reform EU asylum law and the Dublin agreement, as countries wishing to grant asylum to refugees should be able to do so, even if they did not first land in that country. This would greatly improve and speed up the reception process of refugees and migrants.
In order to be fair within EU Member States during a refugee crisis, the distribution of refugees should depend on the economic situation of the EU countries. This will be determined on the basis of the distribution key, so that more solidarity can be created between Member States when reception of refugees is hampered by high unemployment or stagnating GDP. It also aims to subsidise countries hosting refugees and reduce EU funding for those who refuse to do so.
The economic and social aspects of migration need to be taken into account in particular when the issue of integration arises. Segregation is to be dismantled within a city, e.g. the Banlieues, where a multicultural approach is taken so as not to create parallel societies. The state has to spend money to ensure that migrants can be integrated as much as possible through language courses, cultural learning and education, with a view to increasing the labour force in the nation in the long term, so that the country’s economic productivity can increase.
Finally, in the face of climate change, this migration policy must also be made compatible in a sustainable way. To make this possible first and foremost, refugee and migration policies will use the SDGs. If all of these were to be used in the refugee issue, social justice, the economic aspects and the sustainable side could be agreed very effectively. In order to be able to do so, the EU would then need to create a further legal framework to provide the legal basis for social justice, economic efficiency and sustainability.

2040, the years of madness are behind us and I'm delighted. The electoral electroshock I'd been dreaming of has finally arrived and swept away all this madness. Immigration is at an all-time low and we can finally imagine "integrating" the populations we have. Wokism is a thing of the past, and we finally know whether we're male or female. Our withdrawal from Europe, which was predicted to be a disaster, is gradually enabling us to rediscover our borders and our values, and a sense of family seems to have returned to the center of our preoccupations. It's not easy, but we're on the right track. Our children can go out again without us having to worry about their physical integrity.

In 2040, Europe should be a place of equality, social justice and sustainability. I would like Europe to become a leader in the fight against climate change, betting on a green transition and renewable energy. Over the next 15 years, we should transition to an economic system based on the principles of social justice, sustainability and environmental responsibility. This would mean widespread availability of cheap, clean energy, as well as massive investment in public transportation that would connect cities while reducing carbon emissions. European society should be based on inclusiveness and solidarity. I would like to see that in 2040 everyone has equal access to education, health care and basic social services, regardless of their economic status. In my vision, Europe is a space where marginalized groups, such as people with disabilities, ethnic minorities or immigrants, have full rights to participate in social and professional life. European Union member states should support the development of local communities, providing them with financial and political support in their quest for self-reliance. In 2040, Europe should also be a responsible global player, promoting human rights and social justice on the international stage. The future of the Union should be based on a more democratic and transparent approach, in which citizen participation is a key element of the decision-making process. I would like Europe to be a symbol of openness and diversity, and a place where everyone has a chance to live in dignity, regardless of origin, religion or sexual orientation.

Zdraví je budoucnost
Let's imagine 2040 and a future that I would like... I would choose the field of healthcare and longevity. I would imagine a world where medicine has made huge strides with advanced genetics and regenerative medicine. People would live to a ripe old age in great shape because we would be able to repair damaged tissues, regenerate organs, and prevent serious diseases before they even start. Cancer would no longer be fatal, but a temporary problem that could be easily cured. Moreover, prevention would be so advanced that people would not have to spend years in poor health. Everyone would have access to personalised medicine - medication, nutrition and exercise would be tailored to their genetic profile and lifestyle.

The future in 2040: Sustainable cities full of green spaces Imagine 2040. I am standing on the roof of a high-rise building in the city centre, and around me is a panorama that people could hardly imagine twenty years ago. The city is full of greenery - rooftops covered in grass and flowers, climbing plants covering the facades of buildings, and tree-lined cycle paths and pedestrian zones winding between buildings. The air is clear, the silence broken only by the singing of birds and the gentle hum of electric cars. This is the future I would like to see - cities that live in harmony with nature. One of the biggest challenges facing humanity at the beginning of the 21st century was climate change, air pollution and the associated deterioration in the quality of life in cities. At the time, people often overlooked the importance of nature in our daily lives. But in 2040, we have finally learned to use technology to protect the environment instead of destroying it. Cities are now self-sufficient. Community gardens grow on the rooftops where residents grow their own vegetables and fruits. Rainwater is caught in special tanks and used for irrigation. Energy comes mostly from renewable sources - solar panels and wind turbines are a common part of the urban landscape. Thanks to smart grids, electricity is efficiently distributed where it is needed. Transport has undergone a radical change. Streets are no longer clogged with noise and smog from cars with internal combustion engines. Instead, silent electric cars drive through the city and public transport is completely emission-free. People are choosing to cycle, ride electric scooters or walk more often because cities are safer and more pedestrian-friendly. Many car parks have been converted into parks, squares or community spaces. But most importantly, the way people think has changed. Sustainability has become a normal part of life. Children are taught from an early age about the importance of nature, about sorting waste and about how to protect the planet. Companies and governments are working together on projects that promote ecology and improve the quality of life for all. This is the future I envision - a world where modern technology serves people and nature, where cities are not concrete jungles but places full of life, green and clean air. A future where people have learned to live in harmony with the planet because they understand that our future depends on the health of the Earth.
