Kohti reilumpaa maailmaa

The world has finally become aware of the harmfulness of data collection by various companies. Microsoft has been ordered to remove from its operating system the collection of any information that is not directly related to the maintenance of the system's functionality. There are also strict limits on the collection of data from social media and other software, which force users to respect their right to privacy. Requirements have also been set for social media algorithms so that campaigns that incite harassment and channels that encourage extremism do not get in the way. Elon Muskin X is completely banned in Europe because he has openly stated his intention to manipulate the elections and supports extremist parties.

The EU has increased its independence from the U.S.A. so that the actions of this volatile state do not cause much economic volatility. In fact, the EU has been able to increase its influence and cooperation with countries that have also suffered from the ruthlessness of the leaders of that great power. The EU has also recognised the Palestinian state and guaranteed its independence. Israel has been subject to sanctions similar to those imposed by Russia during the war in Ukraine. Fortunately, the EU decided to increase its support for Ukraine and gave full authority to use its weapons where they are needed, including on Russian territory, and Ukraine was finally able to take back the territory it belonged to.

Climate change has finally been taken seriously. Lobbyists of large corporations are mostly ridiculed for attempting to overturn climate-friendly laws that apply to them in the hope of short-sighted profits. Large plantations have brought a large number of new diverse forests to Europe. Reparability is required for technical products: Each part must be easily and reasonably priced. Sustainable products will benefit from tax breaks, while those found to be rapidly degradable will face massive increases in taxation. This is why both refrigerators and tights are durable nowadays.

A great deal of effort has been put into people's mental well-being: A healthy person doesn't rage. EU countries are required to provide a certain level of healthcare at a price that is also accessible to people on low incomes. The life of small entrepreneurs has been made easier, especially in countries where bureaucracy makes entrepreneurship difficult, even unprofitable, such as Finland. Small business is easy and profitable to do, even if it does not guarantee your entire livelihood.

In 2040, medicine is technologically advanced, pollution is greatly reduced. There are no limits and barriers, all men are equal, whether black or white. Women have the same rights and possibilities as men. Respect for every living being prevails.

Kurztrip zum Mond
I imagine that in 2025 I will be able to take a spontaneous day trip to the moon with my family. There we can experience the wonders of weightlessness and enjoy a fantastic view of the blue planet, our home, from above. Such a short break far above our usual hemisphere is a very special experience.

Ein Tag im Europa des Jahres 2050
The morning sun bathes the Berlin skyline in a golden light. I open the windows of my energy self-sufficient apartment - built from recycled materials, climate-neutral and fully connected. My personal AI assistant suggests sustainable options for the day: An appointment with an international team in a virtual conference environment, followed by a visit to the urban garden on the roof of our apartment complex. Europe has changed fundamentally since 2025. The transition to a circular economy has been accelerated by political decisions and fossil fuels have long been a thing of the past. Thanks to new technologies and AI-supported automation, society is more flexible and fairer. Education is digital, individualized and available throughout life. Social security systems guarantee a decent life for all. Vehicles drive silently and autonomously on the roads. Public transportation is free, financed by a Europe-wide digital tax. The air is clean, green parks dot the cities. I meet up with friends in a café where food waste no longer exists - everything is used sustainably. As I enjoy the view, I think about the challenges that Europe has overcome: Climate change, social inequality and economic disruption. But by acting together, we have created a future that is more sustainable, fairer and more liveable - for all Europeans.

Un avenir inclusif et solidaire
In 2040, I'd like to see a world where education is truly inclusive and values all pathways, especially vocational education. A system where every student finds his or her place and develops his or her talents, with no hierarchy between streams. Inequalities in access to culture and healthcare would be reduced thanks to ambitious policies. Preventive health care would be a priority, with fair treatment for all. Finally, society would be more ecological, with responsible consumer choices and technological advances serving the common good. A fairer, more united and more respectful world.
