January 1, 2040 is a day I will always remember. Together with other young people from each of the EU member states, I had been selected to travel from Kiruna in Sweden to the ISS, the International Space Station. It had expanded considerably over the last decade. Arriving at the ISS, we had to go through the first part of the UN Youth Programme UNITY (United Nations International Training Years). The five best of us would land on the moon! I didn't sleep all week after I got that message.

Twenty years is not enough time to impress a significant change, but in this future I would like to find social policies that really pay attention to the welfare of citizens, to their lives in every aspect and not just work, providing everything possible to ensure equitable living conditions for all. I would like there to be no more economic interests as the prime mover of every policy, but instead more collaboration at all levels of government.
Europe is concentrating on the important issues. Instead of producing lots of logistical works that only mean extra administrative work for companies, Europe is finally focusing on being at the top again. We are implementing new technologies, promoting foreign investors and reducing labor costs. We are pulling in the same direction and are not right-wing populists, but a suitable Europe that pursues a uniform security and economic policy.
A greener and cleaner future
I envision a future where sustainable energy is the norm, and every home and business relies on clean, renewable sources like solar and wind power. By 2040, I hope to see cities with green infrastructure, widespread use of electric vehicles, and policies that support environmental conservation. This future would include community-driven sustainability efforts, such as urban gardens, energy-efficient buildings, and improved public transportation systems to reduce pollution. These changes will lead to healthier communities, economic growth in green industries, and a significant reduction in carbon emissions.
