There is a need to focus on: in current problems or whether there is a future in 2040? (¿Dónde debemos poner el punto de mira: en los problemas actuales o en si hay un futuro en 2040?)

There is a need to focus on: in current problems or whether there is a future in 2040? (¿Dónde debemos poner el punto de mira: en los problemas actuales o en si hay un futuro en 2040?)

We will live in barely 20 to us? I remember my adult life without being in a crisis. As regards I've had to live together with the rental bubble and the struggle to have the right to housing, as established by the Constituci, One where I work in dignity to live and not live for work. In this context, we are not forgetting about the climate crisis and looking for less polluting cars, if you can buy them, or we want to transport it on a voluntary or collaborative basis.

As a journalist, in the last few months, I have been able to moderate a debate by the Dy logos on the Future, organised by the Espa government, and have covered the Conference on the Future of Europe in Warsaw or have been able to follow a plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg on the ground.
In all of these events, I have been aware of the fact that the young people feel little room for reactionn to change the situation.

Our parents’ general generation was not so informative and was not so aware of the temperature we can have in the summer in Espa a in 2040. Or the scarcity of water that we already live, not only for our crops, but also for drinking or cooking, with the restrictions that are common in many parts of our geography. to continue to tackle the very near future.

We must focus today on: in the high inflaci and energ crisis in Europe? Or if there is a future to continue to live with the current comfort and what we are now, in 2040?

Indeed, I hope that with urgent measures we are in time to reverse some of the serious effects of climate change that we already see, for example with the objectives of the 2030 Agenda or the European Green Deal.

Be aware of our consumption – for example meat and rope –, encourage water saving, take measures such as reducing or achieving zero emissions, commit to circulating the economy, reduce waste and recycle and reuse other materials, seeking new uses, and invest in the use of clean energy so that it can continue to be an energ island. These are measures with which we can live better in 2040, but in order to achieve well-being in the future, we must strive now.

Utopia (unfortunate) (Utopie (leider))

Anonymous

I want a greener future: —Cities other than heat bells:fewer cars, more space for people, parks, trees, green roofs, etc. —to ensure that we truly meet our climate goals and thus minimise the impact of climate change; —Protecting species that we stop our way of life for animals and plants and no longer contribute to the massive extinction of species —a policy that involves people more and does not give part of society the feeling that they have nothing to say and don’t count —a green, more liveable future for me also includes access to GUTER education for all, that everyone is addressed and you learn things that are useful to one even in times of AI (I believe that one example here is Finland) —build a prudent approach to AI, internet, digitalisation --> benefits, but also take into account the disadvantages and risks (e.g. climate damage, possible job losses, etc.), better communicate and educate people —good health care for all

Home is where the fire is

Anonymous

The combination of individuals together can hardly ever become one, but they can create one. One language, city, music, dance, one Europe. People all have the desire to appear, to join, to create. In 2040, the public: public space, the being together of people, digital space allows these activities, asking people to be vivid, collected. To be the moving matter in the public space of continuity, of something bigger than ourselves. The world shows herself to us in public space, and we ourselves are elements of that world, appearing for the others. In the public realm we recharge our home spheres with the dynamity of others, strangers, the freedom of movement and the space for chance. This public vibrancy, the public heart, or hestia, is the fire around which the community is built. In our private domain we can depart that public world of appearances and comfort ourselves with the warmth, the fire, hestia around which our private lives are built, of our personal controllable surroundings. I imagine a future where the public and private realm are distinct but balanced and in which the public is providing us with a feeling of collectiveness, togetherness, in which we all contribute to sustain that collective. (Hestia, the Greek goddess of the heart and fire, was both the foundation of domestic life, the fireplace, the heart of the house and the public fire, the heart of the city. In earlier times fire was essential to establish a society or community. In my vision Hestia denotes the underlying similarity of the public and the private while maintaining the distinction of the two.)

A future of kindness

Anonymous

I would like to see a future where kindness and social justice are a priority to people. In the future I envision, social responsibility is deeply embedded in citizens' minds and everyday lives. The gap in income, education opportunities, skills, income, and access to healthcare between different groups of people is reduced and self-interest and collective interest are synonymous.
