Europe is acting as a pivotal arena for catalysing sustainable change on a global scale. Europe, in my vision, stands at the forefront of global sustainability leadership. My primary aspiration for a United Europe revolves around fostering deeper integration and collaboration among European nations to drive transformative change. I firmly believe that a sustainable future hinges on circular economy principles, encompassing resource efficiency, waste reduction, and responsible consumption.
My goal is to see Europe emerge as a beacon of innovation and sustainable urban development, not only within its own borders but also as an inspiration and support for the rest of the world. I am committed to forging international alliances and partnerships to advance environmental and social sustainability, steering Europe toward a greener, more resilient future that sets a global example for the betterment of our planet.
