Who are we, where do we come from and where are we going? 
The foundation for Estonia’s development is preserving the Estonian nation and culture. It is therefore important to build a society which protects and fosters our national identity; explores, stores and passes on cultural memory; creates favourable conditions for open and diverse cultural space; values creativity and sports. The world needs to know about our cultural richness and we need to know about the world’s.

Do energy independence and green energy production fit into a single picture? 
The objective of the Estonian energy sector is to guarantee a continuous, sustainable and reasonably priced energy supply in Estonia. At the same time, there is a need to continuously seek ways to make energy production more environmentally friendly, to promote the use of renewable energy sources and contribute to balancing the impact of global climate change.

What is the key to success? 
The future of Estonia, the livelihoods and satisfaction of our people depend to a large extent on the education of each of us. Our knowledge, skills, creativity and shared values guarantee the continued existence of our society and nation. It is therefore at the heart of the Estonian state to offer young people a wide range of opportunities for development and personal fulfilment and to create lifelong learning opportunities for everyone.

Will e-Estonia be viable in the future or will it be forgotten like the Tiger Leap project? 
E-Estonia makes us stand out from other countries. Our electronic ID is unique. Our information society will continue to develop if information and communication technologies gain more ground in governing as well as in the society at large. Then our increasingly smarter solutions could continue to boost the competitiveness of our economy, well-being and improve governance.

How can people in Estonia live a healthy life for longer?
There are many influencing factors: the environment, accessible and high-quality healthcare, workplace safety, standard of living. But in many ways, health, well-being and quality of life depend on everyone’s own choices – how health-conscious we are, what we eat and drink, how much we exercise and care for ourselves.

What is the future of Estonian natural resources? 
How reasonably and efficiently are we using them? 
We use hundreds of products and services every day on which we have spent a lot of resources. Today’s environmental challenges require everyone to be responsible for nature, so that future generations can breathe clean air and live in a naturally diverse environment.

Do you feel safe in Estonia? 
Everyone needs to feel that our country is a safe place to live and that the political regime and the borders of our country are in good hands. Every one of us can help make Estonia safer by preventing accidents and caring for themselves and people close to them. Smart and effective solutions can reduce risks to people’s lives, health, property and constitutional order and ensure swift and competent assistance.

How friendly is Estonian society? 
A cohesive society is based on supportive, free people acting democratically to achieve common goals. The society is cohesive if everyone, irrespective of their sex, age, race, ethnicity, marital status or place of residence, are treated without prejudice and equally. Everyone can participate fully in society, work, fulfil oneself and be economically active. Social groups respect each other, act friendly and feel safe as a result.

What kind of a country would we like to live in? 
A country where people are valued and invested in. A country where people feel confident about the future. A country where people are not excluded and where working life and income do not depend on a person’s sex, origin or age, but on skills and knowledge and who we are as people. A country that is family-friendly. A country where people want to raise children and where children feel safe and happy.

How do we see the world and how does the world see us? 
The aim of Estonia’s foreign policy is to ensure that our country remains independent, and represent, defend and promote Estonia’s national interests on the international stage by making Estonia better known and increasing our involvement in the world. Successful international relations contribute to the effective protection and growing well-being of Estonian citizens.

What conditions promote entrepreneurship and contribute to higher living standards?
Estonia wants to encourage entrepreneurship and innovation and be home to committed people and ambitious businesses. It can help companies to be internationally competitive, effectively produce valuable products, export and provide innovative services by creating conditions for higher productivity and living standards, good education and culture, Estonia’s continued existence and development.

What are the developments in the Estonian countryside? 
The main pillars of our rural life are traditional agricultural landscapes and biodiversity. It is necessary for their survival to encourage agricultural entrepreneurship and improve the living environment in rural areas. This is the only way to achieve viable and competitive rural areas with balanced agriculture and fisheries, while ensuring plant and animal health, safe and varied foodstuffs, and people’s satisfaction.

How to travel quickly and comfortably, while caring for the environment? 
Cost-efficiency and environmental sustainability are important transport goals in Estonia. To attain them, our roads need to be in good condition, cars should not clog cities and places should be accessible on foot, by bike or public transport. Our transport system should enable us to travel quickly, conveniently and safely to desired destinations, and goods should reach their destination smoothly.

How to govern the state effectively when resources are limited? 
Effective governance requires the ability and skills to make optimal use of available resources. Only carefully selected development objectives and well-considered financing decisions can ensure the quality and accessibility of public services.
