Sustainable future

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I want to see a future where there is a more stable democratic geopolitical situation than today. The current situation in Europe and the world feels very volatile and much more unsafe than then I was younger and seems to be highly driven be extreme-right party political perspectives and people in power that tends to want a future that is more like the past - focusing on power of the past rather than technological progress and focusing on a future where we can live on our own planet. In 2040 I see Europe with a higher line of borders towards Russia and with a slowly healing relationship with the U.S. after large trust issue that has risen over many years from a U.S. goverment recovering from the current reshaping to past values. I see a European economy on a rise after years with an unstable situation. I also see much struggle and migration of people based on the increasing severity of climate changes that have only gotten worse over the past decades and a northern Europe struggling to get ready for the apparent future with colder weather due to the failing of the golf stream.

Pomerne jasná a pravde podobne úspešná
My future in the EU depends on the opportunities I take. I want to travel, learn and work in different countries to gain experience and broaden my horizons. The EU offers freedom of movement so I can study at prestigious universities or find a job that fulfils me. It is also important to be actively involved in society and contribute to its development. I believe that the EU will continue to encourage innovation and cooperation between countries, which will allow me to move forward. My future is in my hands and I intend to make the most of it.

Empathie im Miteinander
In a better future, people will have more empathy again. We have got to grips with the problem by confronting men with their feelings again and getting them to deal with them. That's why there is less crime, because socialization is finally better. Equality makes the world a safer and happier place.

Un monde en paix
I'd like to see a future in a peaceful world, free of pesticides, where women and men are treated equally, where education is given to all children in a respectful world, where nature is beautiful, healthy and well cared for.

Μια ήρεμη ζωή
Greece 2040... After many years people are happy and optimistic. At last the reins of the country have been taken over by people who want the good of the country and work for it. All those who plagued the country are in jail and an air of freedom is blowing over the country. Education is flourishing. New modern schools, children smiling as school is no longer boring. Learning is now a joy, and beyond general knowledge they can delve into whatever else interests them. The economy is growing. Citizens are working and living with dignity and security, without anxiety about tomorrow. They do not have to be away from morning till night to meet bills and obligations. They have all the free time they need to be with their family and friends, to pursue their interests and to feel good about themselves.
