A greener, more peaceful, more modern alliance between the states of Europe!

My European vision is a greener, more peaceful Europe. Explained in more detail, where peace is restored on the continent and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is managed to be smoothed out diplomatically. Europe's economy is currently going through unprecedented difficulties. In my opinion, further sanctions are not an option. The diplomatic settlement of the conflict must be urgently resolved, for which both parties must create the necessary conditions. First of all, this should be sacrificed and not for further sanctions, as a result of which peace will be restored by 2040 and the economy will start to pick up. By 2040, the climate crisis will cause serious problems, which will become humanity's number one problem. In order to prevent this, we must act as soon as possible, which can only be brought about by green investments and because of which we have to reduce our comfort for a while in order to have a better future. Epidemiological measures will end for good by 2040 and Covid-19 will become a simple public disease, which will no longer pose a huge threat. However, in order to avoid further epidemics, certain restrictions may remain in place, such as the use of masks in hospitals and various public health institutions. Digitization will conquer such a huge space that it must be supported. However, we must be careful not to overdo it and in the end end up worse off with such investments, for example with unreasonably high prices, possible risks due to Internet crime. Immigration must be moderated and people must not be allowed in without checks. The problem must be solved locally and the Union must focus on this in the future in order to remain in a peaceful and calm environment. The only viable future for the European Union is to remain an economic alliance between nation states. In addition to the common European army, it can also be a military and law enforcement alliance. However, the independence of nation-states must not be lost. Everyone has their own culture and these should not be lost. According to everyone's own laws and wills, they must be independent and sovereign member states within the union. This is my Europe for 2040 in a nutshell!

En positiv fremtid
It's a beautiful day in the city. The smog and smoke particles from cars and oil burners are almost gone. The city's roofs shine from the solar panels mounted on every building. The power is free for those who make the roof available to the community and the rest is sold cheaply to industry. Energy is not something that is monetized, but a shared good. This is also due to the large ITER fusion reactors in each country. The city is green. Trees and parks have spread and are used by the inhabitants who now work 30 hours a week. We laugh when we look back 15 years ago at all the time spent at work. The extra free time has created a boom in leisure activities and volunteering. Stress has decreased significantly in society and quality of life has increased. The massive program to eliminate inequality in the EU has paid off; the richest are not as rich as they used to be and they don't lack anything, but with the poorest suddenly having money in their hands, crime has dropped to almost nothing and health care bills have fallen. People are happy. War is a thing of the past. We found that peace and trade was better in the long run. Russia is starting to be accepted again after their apology to Ukraine and the world and they are experiencing a boom in their economy and tourism. Trump's regime never materialized and the next president apologized and changed things so that even Americans could get some of the welfare benefits that Europe gives its citizens. Religion no longer rules the world. Secular societies based on science and humanism have finally trumped the Iron Age-based religious dogmas. Now man finally comes before the gods and equality and diversity flourish. Circumcision has become a choice for people of legal age, church bells no longer interfere with daily life, all religious communities pay taxes and the Danish Church has finally been freed from the state due to lack of support. They collect their own taxes and several churches have been transformed into cultural centers that everyone can use. Environmentally, progress is slow. The Ministry of Fisheries and the Ministry of Agriculture have taken an incredibly hard line and have spent many resources on innovative solutions and restrictions on emissions and harmful fishing. Several zones in Denmark have been protected from industrial fishing and with the huge restoration effort, where the Green Tripartite proved to be just the start of an environmentally friendly revolution, life has returned to the sea and nature, wildlife and insects are thriving. These things have become a big part of Denmark's tourist experience. Technology is booming. Robots help us in our everyday lives and advanced genetic engineering has doubled the human lifespan and eradicated many diseases, including cancer. We can now control unhealthy obesity much better and healthier and the increased health has reduced healthcare costs. We now have a healthcare system that can handle the needs of society without the health professionals suffering. Education has become more widespread after the government's massive investment in public schools. It was discovered that a good primary school with small class sizes, more teachers and a strong focus on pedagogy in the children's free time, supported by many competent educators, prepared the children to become well-functioning citizens, as they gained both academic knowledge and social skills from an early age. Danish children are doing well. The Danish Church has also been removed from primary schools. Christianity education has been changed to the subject "philosophy of life" and also includes non-religious beliefs. This has better equipped children to deal with the diversity of the world and create a better self-image of themselves. After the independence of the Church of England, the number of secular weddings and funerals has increased. It was Scotland that started this trend, which has now spread to the rest of Europe. So the world has now taken the first deep steps towards a more peaceful world, with less war, a better environment and less human suffering. We have already started colonizing Mars and the discovery of life on some of Jupiter's moons has humbled us. We are not the only life in space. And with Earth as our safe and green base, we are finally technologically ready to conquer space beyond our own solar system.

Nature
In the future I see (or more like I steongly hope to see) people loving nature and appreciating it more, showering it in love. People taking their time to nurture nature, planting more trees and plants, taking care of them. I see our nature triving, the world map looking more green with each passing day. I see more people talking about how beautiful our surroundings are and how important it is to keep it that way.

Umweltfreundliche Zukunft
In my future, more emphasis would be placed on the climate. There would be more research into renewable energy, the lifespan of technical products would be significantly longer and they could be repaired cheaply everywhere. Consumption would be sustainable and meat would be significantly more expensive. On the other hand, more emphasis is placed on environmentally friendly, healthy alternatives. Rainforest deforestation is banned and a sustainable alternative for wood is found. All in all, we respect nature more.

Es kann nur besser werden...
I urgently wish for a peaceful Europe, not only free of "special operations" at the borders, but also of terror within the borders. I would also like to see good living conditions, clean air, safe strolling through the cities, which would mean a massive reduction in individual, motorized traffic. Cruelty towards animals will hopefully be a thing of the past, so people will live mainly vegan, which will also help the climate. I am not as negative about its development as the mainstream (I prefer mild winters). I also very much hope that Europe has not succumbed to Islam and that the totalitarian nature of this ideology is recognized and combated in the meantime. Technological developments and inventions will make life easier in many areas over the next 15 years. I very much hope that the EU will not regulate everything to death, but will provide opportunities for new developments. I look forward to the beautiful and pleasant things that are to be expected!
