In 2040, I envision a future in which the climate crisis is successfully managed and sustainability is at the heart of all social and economic activity. I would like to see a world where renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and hydropower are the dominant sources, and fossil fuels are a thing of the past. Cities would be greener, full of parks, vertical gardens and sustainable buildings that produce more energy than they consume. Cooperation between countries would be an important aspect of this future - solidarity in the fight against climate change, fair distribution of resources and access to clean water, education and healthcare for all. Technology would be used to protect nature and restore ecosystems, not to destroy them. Such a future would be built on responsibility and respect for the planet and for each other - a world where harmony between humans and nature is a given.

What kind of future would I like? One where you don't have to work and you don't need money. Whatever you could think of, you'd get. He'd be hungry, he'd go to a restaurant and they'd give him food. If he wanted to smoke, he would smoke wherever he wanted and no one would say he couldn't smoke in the restaurant. If he was thirsty, he'd go to a pub for a beer. There would be freedom of speech. You could say anything and no one would judge you. You wouldn't have to worry about being attacked and so on and so forth. Nowadays you can't say anything, it's immediately wrong, and you're also afraid that someone else will slap you in the face, and that wouldn't happen in the future.

I’d like to imagine a future in 2040 where sustainable energy has become the global standard, eliminating our reliance on fossil fuels. In this world, solar, wind, and fusion energy power cities efficiently, with smart grids optimizing energy use in real-time. Every home has access to affordable renewable power, and transportation is entirely electric or hydrogen-based.

The EU is economically strengthened and consolidated. As regards military security, the EU has an army responsible for securing and defending the border (so-called professional army). Every EU citizen between the ages of 18 and 25 is obliged to work for 18 months, alternatively in the social sector.
