My vision of Europe in 2050 is the collective vision which I came up with by looking at it from a multi-disciplinary perspective from the four main sectors which I believe would be key players for the fate of Europe in 2050: the farming sector, the research sector, the business sector, and the government sector, primarily the policymakers. From the farmer’s perspective, my vision of Europe in 2050 is on the use of modern techniques or available...
Author - Imagine Europe
Democracy, freedom, equality, the rule of the law and respect for human rights and dignity. These shared values are the foundation of the European Union. European people and societies are connected by them. They form the ground, which all European Institutions should base their decisions and actions on. However, the reality of the EU drastically deviates from these ideals. Due to a prioritisation of individual interests of the member states, it...
How do you see Europe in 2050? Developed, prosperous – or, perhaps, weakened? And what if I tell you that Europe is much bigger than a lot of us think? Here are my thoughts on Europe in 2050. Miron Vitushka, 15 y.o., Minsk, Belarus. Hello, my name is Miron Vitushka, I’m 15 years old, and I may seem dreaming, but here’s how I see Europe in 2050. I’m from the city of Minsk, Belarus, which is located in geographical center of Europe. That may...
Modern technologies have made it easier for people to connect and it seems as if politics seems to be drifting further away from people rather than closer to them. That’s why I decided to frame my vision for Europe 2050 around the basic concept of trust: I would like to see a Europe where people can trust its political institutions. New technology, renewable energy, more Europeanisation or more integration, will not be worth much in themselves...
Europe in 2019, will be a Europe of health, able to cure efficiently the various diseases that may affect our body and mind. Our goal: to become a leader in medicine, by adopting ambitious policies!
By 2050 Europe’s population will change. The increase in life expectancy and the decline in fertility rates will make Europe more aged. By 2050, almost a third of Europeans will be 65 or older, compared to a fifth nowadays. The working population will be reduced and this impact will have to be attenuated by changes in pension systems: for example, align retirement age with life expectancy. Furthermore, the reduction in working population...
When I first encountered the topic of “Imagining Europe in 2050” the first thing that crossed my mind was that oh wow, I have not even existed as a person for 31 years. It currently seems to me like an entire lifetime, and let’s face it, there’s so much potential, opportunity, dreams we can accomplish. But then, 31 years seems so little. Is it enough? Are we enough to put an end to this cyclone of problems? Fake news and post truth politics…...
My vision for Europe in 2050 is essentially a federalist one, meaning that the 28 states that make up the Union today will, by then, be fully integrated into a federal or federation-like supra-structure like the United States of Europe. There are very few areas that won’t be touched by this change. Already, the EU has improved and altered so many facets of our lives. We can freely travel and reside anywhere in the Union, and that will remain the...
by Bánk Kostya EUROPE in 2050 Hi! I think the world, just like Europe, has already made every mistake which is possible to make. The main challenge we are facing in the next 30 years, is to see whether we will be able to learn from these problems and whether the new generation will be able to reform the most important issues which are causing most of the problems today. These are, for example, agricultural issues: will we be able by 2050 to...
by Hassna Debboun My vision of EUROPE in 2050 In 2019, Europe is in a state worth worrying about because our protector, democracy, is in danger. Indeed, many people around the world are victims of social inequalities and many injustices. I invite you to go back in time, and very precisely back to 1948, when the Declaration of Human Rights was adopted in Paris by the General Assembly of the United Nations to affirm loud and clear: “Never again!”...
