Responsible and informed

The topics that I see as encompassing a lot of aspects of our life are communication and transparency. I think whether we are journalists or not, people in my country have lost the ability to communicate properly on heated topics - from climate change, the pandemic, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and etc. Discussion has become ever more difficult because of many reasons but some key ones include 1) people heavily mistaking opinions for facts; 2) people being unaware of how strong disinformation is and what are its goals 3) lack of empathy and the desire to listen, not only to express your own viewpoint and try to convince the others. Hence, whether we talk about the state of democracy, media freedom, environmental protection and how we imagine them to be better in 2040, I think an improved information space is vital to that.

Il futuro è green
It would be greener. We all understood the importance of polluting less to stop climate change, so we all (public, private and business) implemented actions to improve livability on planet earth: stop land consumption, reforestation, no more oil and coal, use of bio fuels, use of electricity from renewable energy sources.

Futuro verde
I would like the future to be greener, more focused on ecology, attention to climate change and respect for nature. I would like policies toward this path to be incentivized and penalties to be toughened for those who do not respect the environment in which they live, perhaps even with community service to socially recoup the damage created

Communication
I stay connected with my headset, I don't have to use my fingers for the mobile anymore, I just say if I want to call, if I want to send an e-mail, everything is done by voice. In my future, there will be more and more video calls, so that family ties don't become disconnected. We'll have cars that we can drive just by voice, which will be able to detect road signs and brake or stop on their own.

Gesamtheit
A future EUROPE as I would like it to be is an absolute utopia. Unlimited freedom for all. Especially freedom of movement. Democracy for all. A small arsenal of weapons. The Europe would have to live up to the name EUROPA. It is not just freedom to travel. It is not just democracy in all countries. Envy must be a foreign word. The traditions of each country must be preserved and a European government should be completely superfluous. Such a government is already superfluous. The standards that are for the good of all should be introduced everywhere and become mandatory. Animal welfare, treatment of animals during transportation, traffic rules, one currency. Salaries according to performance. Mutual unconditional support in the event of disasters. And there are limits to everything. Such borders, I mean national borders, it must be possible to close and open them so that these borders serve the good of the individual state. Similar educational opportunities for all. Freedom of research and exchange of results. It is all so hypothetical that it is actually unnecessary to react to such tasks here. That is why I have now written enough about it
