Europe of the future - 2050
I wake up in the morning, and the sun's rays penetrate through the window await me. There is silence outside, interrupted only by bird songs. I turned on my smart mirror, and it shows news about the latest developments in the world - all related to sustainable development and the integration of technology into people's daily lives.
After breakfast, I go to work. The city is no longer congested, as most people move with autonomous electric vehicles. There are no exhaust gases in the air, and the city parks are full of greenery and flowers.
My work is related to artificial intelligence. I am part of a team that develops new medical solutions. We are working to enable faster and more accurate diagnosis of diseases with the help of AI, as well as to develop personalized treatment plans for each patient.
After work, I meet with friends. We go to one of the city's many restaurants, where food is prepared from local and seasonal products. After dinner, we go to a concert with musicians from all over Europe.
The day has been filled with events, but I feel happy and pleased. I live in a Europe focused on sustainable development, technology and human well-being. I hope that in the future Europe will become an even better place to live.
The Story of Change
Between 2025 and 2050, Europe has undergone profound changes. The shared vision and work of citizens, politicians and experts has led to significant progress in many areas:
* Sustainable development: Europe has become a leader in sustainable development. Pollution has been reduced, renewable energy sources have become key and effective solutions for waste recycling have been put in place.
* Technology: Technology is integrated into people's daily lives, making life more comfortable and efficient. Artificial intelligence is used in medicine, education and other fields.
* Social well-being: The well-being of citizens has improved. Poverty and inequality have decreased and everyone has access to quality education and healthcare.
I hope that this story will inspire people to act now to build a better future for Europe.

Mein Wunschtraum
A future that has it all. There are no more politicians. People have finally realized that they only want to cause unrest and exercise power. Let's manage our money like any good family man does. We've had almost 100 years of peace and haven't managed to build up any assets in that time. Instead, we have accumulated debts for many generations to come. For what? Committees, associations, institutes and many others. Every citizen had a deputy assigned to them. Great. Who is actually still working? Those were the conditions in 2040. Now we only have employees who execute existing laws. Is that enough?

Regenerace přírody
The planet would recover through massive ecosystem restoration projects. Deforested areas would be reforested, the oceans would be cleaned of plastic waste and biodiversity would increase by protecting endangered species. Cities would be full of greenery - vertical gardens on buildings, parks on every corner and urban farms would be a way of life.

Oteplování
It's 2040, and the country's average temperatures have risen, leading to more frequent summer heat waves and warmer winters. Droughts have become more frequent, causing problems for agriculture, especially grain and vegetable production. Farmers had to adapt their cultivation methods and introduce more efficient irrigation methods. Floods have also become more frequent due to the rapid melting of snow in the mountains. On the positive side, however, there has been a great development of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, and most cities have become greener.

Gerechtigkeit und Transparenz
This better future could well be one in which many things are handled more fairly. Those who do not work are not entitled to support from the community. With every year of productive work, i.e. work in any form as we know it, not only does the entitlement to support increase in the event of unemployment, but also the entitlement to maintenance when the working age is reached. Refugees also only receive maintenance if they work and contribute to the GNP of the respective state. There is only ever one citizenship and not several. Referendums, as in Switzerland, are part of everyday life. The influence of citizens or active political groups has more effect and impact on the development of the state. Politicians, like any other employee, can be held accountable for their actions and decisions. Cars or gen. Vehicles are allowed to drive at a defined maximum speed on all EU highways, but this is also rigorously monitored. Waste should be paid for according to quantity - polluter pays principle. Ships, whether new or old, should only be allowed to sail emission-free or with filters. The same applies to airplanes. Capital gains tax of at least 35% per year is due from ownership or capital of 5 million euros. More transparency for people in public office with regard to income, sideline income, other posts, etc. A strict cap also applies here. Politicians who govern a nation must have a solid education in economics or law. School dropouts or unskilled workers are not allowed to hold political office. Preservation of existing nature. Radical reforestation of fallow land. Stop building wind turbines and use the existing ones, as many of them are not yet connected to the grid. Photovoltaic surfaces over built-up areas, e.g. over roads, highways and wherever the ground is already sealed, or on all kinds of surfaces. Fields and meadows must remain free and usable for agriculture.
