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.

Umweltfreundliche Zukunft
In my future, more emphasis would be placed on the climate. There would be more research into renewable energy, the lifespan of technical products would be significantly longer and they could be repaired cheaply everywhere. Consumption would be sustainable and meat would be significantly more expensive. On the other hand, more emphasis is placed on environmentally friendly, healthy alternatives. Rainforest deforestation is banned and a sustainable alternative for wood is found. All in all, we respect nature more.

Es kann nur besser werden...
I urgently wish for a peaceful Europe, not only free of "special operations" at the borders, but also of terror within the borders. I would also like to see good living conditions, clean air, safe strolling through the cities, which would mean a massive reduction in individual, motorized traffic. Cruelty towards animals will hopefully be a thing of the past, so people will live mainly vegan, which will also help the climate. I am not as negative about its development as the mainstream (I prefer mild winters). I also very much hope that Europe has not succumbed to Islam and that the totalitarian nature of this ideology is recognized and combated in the meantime. Technological developments and inventions will make life easier in many areas over the next 15 years. I very much hope that the EU will not regulate everything to death, but will provide opportunities for new developments. I look forward to the beautiful and pleasant things that are to be expected!

Un monde idéal après des années catastrophique sous tous les plans
What a joy to have returned to a world where there is no more insecurity, no more aggression, no more war or terrorism. Everything can be recycled, and we've found a definitive solution to global warming. Full employment has returned, and there's work for everyone, thanks to the decision to apply selective and measured immigration. The justice system is uncompromising, and no one wants to repeat a crime because the penalties are so exemplary.

L utopique age d or
People no longer eat animals, forests are protected, there is only one god, the universe. Cancer is eradicated. Weapons are banned. Nuclear bombs are defused all over the planet, hundreds of millions of trees are replanted, the conquest of space is the top priority. Esperanto is the universal language, and live and let live has become everyone's motto. Last but not least, the human population does not exceed ten billion.
