In 2040 I will have a 19, a 24 and 26 year old. I hope that we are able to stay close as a family. We would be able to live in close proximity with each other so I can help my children start their own lives. House prices are more reasonable so they don't have to move far away. I can see them often, child mind my grandchildren and travel with them. I don't want my children to be swamped with debt from huge mortgages, I want them to be able to continue their careers after having children and not have to give up work because of lack of affordable childcare. I us to able to travel together both locally and on ferry to France and UK without it being cheaper to get a flight to Spain for a week than stay locally for a weekend. I want our local government to put people first, building communities instead of just houses. I want my children not to have to worry about going to the doctors because it's too expensive or where will their children go to school because there isn't enough spaces for the amount of houses built. I want my children to be happy and to be able to make memories with them. I want my future to be family!

It is 2040...around me I see so many happy retirees , after so many years of work they can finally enjoy life because they retired at the "right age" ,they can do what they always wanted to do because they have the economic ability to do it, they can spend time with their grandchildren because their children have found a good job, what they studied for or , simply, what they like to do. Because, if grown-ups go to work until. 70 years old ..for young people there is no place ...

Eine grüne Zukunft

The most important thing is to protect and preserve the climate. It is essential that we do everything we can to save the climate. In 2040, this has already been achieved to a large extent. Once it was recognized that the climate catastrophe is life-threatening for everyone, measures were taken to counteract it. Sustainable drives, a sustainable economy and a greener world overall have been implemented to minimize the damage that already exists. Governments have realized that climate protection can only be enforced through bans on companies and have done so despite lobbying. Ordinary people have been given tax relief in other areas so that they have not been hit by the concentrated force of financing environmental protection measures. The inner cities are almost car-free, people can get around easily by bike or on foot and relax because they no longer have to watch out for cars. The air quality has improved, allowing people to breathe more freely.

Kādu nākotni es vēlos

I would like to see a much more organised road infrastructure in my city, Riga, as well as transport. I think we should also work on improving living conditions and raising wages. One of the most pressing problems is the threat of war, so another thing I would like is for this situation not to go to war and for there to be full confidence in security.

Frieden

Things should definitely be more peaceful in 2040. Palestine could have its own state, Kurdistan too and Russia has a new leader who is pro-European. Taiwan is still autonomous and independent of China. Europe has moved even closer together and speaks with one voice. IS no longer exists.
