It was a sunny morning in September 2050 when I set out on a journey to the heart of Europe's future. As I traveled through Zagreb by autonomous electric vehicle, I noticed how public parks had transformed the congested streets. People were gathering in botanical gardens, exchanging ideas, and creating collective projects for a sustainable future.

Between 2025 and 2050, the world underwent a significant transformation. Cities became self-sufficient, and renewable energy replaced fossil fuels. Inspired by eco-innovations, I visited a center for innovation where young experts were working on developing new technologies for recycling plastic waste into bioplastics.

After lunch, I strolled along the Drava River, where cherry blossoms were falling from trees and providing a source of food. We were all connected – nature, technology, and people. In that instant, I realized that the future we had dreamed of was finally a reality. And every day was an opportunity to create a better world.

As I continued my journey, I witnessed a Europe where borders were no longer an issue, and people from all walks of life were living together in harmony. The air was clean, the water was pure, and the earth was thriving. I saw a generation of innovators and leaders who had taken responsibility for shaping their own future and that of their planet.

In this Europe of 2050, sustainability was not just a buzzword; it was a way of life. People had come together to create a world where technology and nature coexisted in perfect harmony, where the needs of the present were met without compromising the future. It was a future that was not just possible, but already here – a reminder that the choices we make today shape the world we live in tomorrow.

I returned to the present with a renewed sense of purpose, inspired by the people and projects I had met on my journey. I knew that creating a better world would require effort, creativity, and determination, but I also knew that it was achievable. And so, I encouraged others to join me on this journey, to dream big, and to work together to build a Europe that was truly for all.

Una utopía

I would like to see a strong Europe, without illegals in the streets and with immigration control as it is implemented in the United States. I would like to continue to see combustion cars and not the fallacy of the electric car they have sold us and a strong industry, capable of competing globally, but so well balanced that our farmers and fishermen, the primary sector, are as prioritized as the industry. Let the times of industrial and economic strength of the early nineteenth and twentieth centuries return. I want to see the European Parliament always full of its parliamentarians and not empty as it is right now, where the priority is the fight against corruption no matter what country it is, but all against political corruption. I also want freedom of expression to continue to exist and we can express our disagreement with integration policies, without being targeted or flagged as homophobic, misogynistic, etc. Equality has to be real across Europe and we cannot put one gender above another.

Un futuro de innovación y sostenibilidad

I imagine a world full of incredible innovations, technological advances and a deep respect for the environment. We will live in interconnected cities and where AI will make our lives more comfortable and efficient. The cars will be electric and autonomous, they will dominate the roads reducing pollution and increasing safety. The offices of our works have been transformed into occasional spaces since teleworking and flexible schedules are the norm. Thanks to advances in genetics and biotechnology, medical treatments are more personalized and more effective.

Elu, mis pakub palju rõõmu ja vähe muresid

I am already retired and luckily for ages there is no reason to complain about health so far. How long this health condition could last is impossible to predict. But seeing how many people of my age (including younger and older people) are struggling with access to necessary medical care, as well as with physiotherapy procedures that would help delay the emergence of more serious health problems and increase feelings of well-being. It is therefore necessary to improve access to medical care. Given what is happening in society, it seems utopian. It would also be necessary for the elderly to be able to move more easily to care homes that provide decent care. Surely assisted suicide should be legalized, for which hundreds (if not more) of hopelessly ill people would be grateful. Ultimately, the whole society would benefit.

een sombere toekomst

I don't have a good feeling for the future that will look bleak. People will be more unhappy because of the technology. A robot will determine our lives, Ai will only cause disadvantages compared to the happiness of the people. There will be little or no communication. The robot will control our way of life. Nature is polluted by way of more and it becomes practically unviable. Floods will plague us and what are people doing to improve it?
