Latvia, EU, UK and others 15 years into the future

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Europe is getting ready to federalize, with big autonomy for the current member states, and life couldn't be better. Latvia (the member state where this future idea comes from) has went ahead and become more liberal and open-minded following a victory of a coalition of liberal parties in 2038 Saeima Elections, and so did nations such as Serbia, Hungary and others following their respective elections. Investment into projects and social support is at it's highest point in 30 years, following full introduction of Rail Baltica, due to which the economy is at it's highest peak, higher than the one Latvia experienced after increased investment after joining EU in 2004, 36 years ago. The far-right rise of 2020s has decreased up to a point where parties as Vlaams Belang (in BE), Latvija Pirmā Vietā (LV), Fidesz (HU) and others do not register support higher than 2, maybe 3,5%. Northern Ireland and Ireland unite together - bringing the long history of division to an end; Scotland and Wales (after becoming independent), Ukraine (with the 1991 borders) and Sakartvelo (after a successful revolution against the georgian dream government in 2024-2025) join the EU. England is starting to reconsider Brexit, and starts reforms needed to rejoin the EU.

The main issues to be tackled are migration, peace, the environment. The EU needs to impose tough rules so that it does not pay for anyone to migrate to Europe. This could be done by 2040. Migration causes unrest in society, fear among local people, acts of terrorism. Peace - calming the war in Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Hamas. These two conflicts make us most nervous. Politicians should do everything to bring about calm. And the environment? The whole planet must try to improve the situation, Europe will not save anything.

Gemeinsam zusammen
All the houses on our estate are energy self-sufficient. If the individual solar cells are not enough, we have our communal wind turbines, which always produce at high altitude. The profit is distributed to everyone. We only drive a few electric cars and prefer to use our bikes or local transport for most journeys. There are trees everywhere, it's green. Birds on every corner. I work for a company in Ireland. But with home office and fiber everywhere, it doesn't matter where in Europe I work. My son is studying in Denmark. But with the high-speed trains, he can be back here in an hour.

Budúcnosť bez obavy
I would like there to be peace on earth. That all unrest would cease. We are all responsible for what our planet will look like in the future and what relationships will be like, but the higher ups have much more influence over everything. I also hope that nature will be put back in order. We should eliminate the cutting down of trees because they are the main producers of oxygen. Various natural disasters are becoming more and more frequent. Heavy rains but also extreme droughts are plaguing the country in much greater numbers than in the past. This is linked to global warming. It is not only people who suffer during wars, but also nature. I think that nature becomes enormously polluted then. Dangerous substances leak out of explosions and enter the atmosphere, and the soil and, of course, the animals also suffer. I hope that people will realise what is happening to our planet as soon as possible and that we can do a lot together. People are constantly complaining about the political system. I don't know if this has any solution. But it will certainly help if there are road and fair people in politics. But such people are very hard to find. Everything goes easier with good state leadership. There are much nicer interpersonal relations between people in a given country, less quarrels and overall well-being. However, it should be remembered that small changes can be made by man for himself. Try to be better day by day and thus create a more beautiful future for yourself. I hope that the world will only go for the better.

Geluk in 2040
We are in 2040. The world has been transformed. Poverty and hunger are a thing of the past. Technology and humanity work together to create a society where everyone has access to healthy food, healthcare and education. We help each other without conditions, driven by empathy and shared responsibility. I walk through a city where people smile, where time is not money but a gift. I have found myself in this connected world, where my talents contribute to the well-being of others. I used to look for my place, now I know that my place is anywhere I can make a difference. Here, in 2040, happiness is not a privilege, but a right for everyone.
