The year 2040 has come.Peace everywhere.All states tolerate each other.All the planet is at peace and understanding.One state helps another in times of some difficulties - in times of famine, floods, diseases. There are enough doctors in the Czech Republic.Dentists are paid by the state, so we don't have to pay millions for teeth.And there are enough of them in all regions.Everyone has a doctor and they don't have to be without teeth for a year because they don't have the means. In schools we have to honor the elderly,have respect for the young and the old. The state is judged by its behaviour towards children and old people. And now the old people are unnecessary , and the children do not participate in respect and understanding. And also there will be plenty of cheap housing and electricity.

In 2040, Lithuania will be free and prosperous. Lithuanians who have left Lithuania will return en masse to their homeland. The brightest minds will create new technologies that the whole world will want to use. The medical system will be at the forefront, because we will be using the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technologies developed. Medicine will be accessible and free to all, but private practice will not disappear. The latest medicines will be available for diseases that are currently still incurable. Living standards will rise. People will have more opportunities to travel, to go to theatres and concerts. Children will be educated through practical activities rather than just books. Teachers' work will become more prestigious, and respect among students will increase. Lithuanians will be proud to live in Lithuania.

In 2050 I would imagine a beautiful and bright future without quarrels and wars, so that all people are happy and content. As for the environment, I hope to plant more trees and keep order so that there is plenty of greenery and wildlife. So as far as development technology is concerned I would like to see normal (diesel/petrol) cars as well as electric cars, also better and more accessible infrastructure to foreign countries and villages. Let there be more affordable housing for young people who would like to afford or even own a house or land as salaries and wages are miserable and inflation is not helping. Let the shops be more modern but at the same time don't take staff away because of modernity as jobs are hard to find. Lastly, people could be more kind and friendly to each other, to other people, to animals and to the planet.That concludes my wishes for 2050.

The year is 2040, and many people have already stocked up on self-driving cars. Unfortunately not everyone can afford them because although they are already widely available the price is exorbitant in my opinion. And as for the curability of cancer, we have a super drug that is able to cure it. If we look back, finally there are no more wars in the world. Many things have been neutralized like air pollution.

The future in 2040: Sustainable cities full of green spaces Imagine 2040. I am standing on the roof of a high-rise building in the city centre, and around me is a panorama that people could hardly imagine twenty years ago. The city is full of greenery - rooftops covered in grass and flowers, climbing plants covering the facades of buildings, and tree-lined cycle paths and pedestrian zones winding between buildings. The air is clear, the silence broken only by the singing of birds and the gentle hum of electric cars. This is the future I would like to see - cities that live in harmony with nature. One of the biggest challenges facing humanity at the beginning of the 21st century was climate change, air pollution and the associated deterioration in the quality of life in cities. At the time, people often overlooked the importance of nature in our daily lives. But in 2040, we have finally learned to use technology to protect the environment instead of destroying it. Cities are now self-sufficient. Community gardens grow on the rooftops where residents grow their own vegetables and fruits. Rainwater is caught in special tanks and used for irrigation. Energy comes mostly from renewable sources - solar panels and wind turbines are a common part of the urban landscape. Thanks to smart grids, electricity is efficiently distributed where it is needed. Transport has undergone a radical change. Streets are no longer clogged with noise and smog from cars with internal combustion engines. Instead, silent electric cars drive through the city and public transport is completely emission-free. People are choosing to cycle, ride electric scooters or walk more often because cities are safer and more pedestrian-friendly. Many car parks have been converted into parks, squares or community spaces. But most importantly, the way people think has changed. Sustainability has become a normal part of life. Children are taught from an early age about the importance of nature, about sorting waste and about how to protect the planet. Companies and governments are working together on projects that promote ecology and improve the quality of life for all. This is the future I envision - a world where modern technology serves people and nature, where cities are not concrete jungles but places full of life, green and clean air. A future where people have learned to live in harmony with the planet because they understand that our future depends on the health of the Earth.

I believe that the old continent of Europe will be safe and very beautiful in the future, with the disappearance of tyrants and dictators like Putin, and that we will live in peace and happiness, preserving nature and its resources. There will be enough work for four days a week, health care will reach a high level, the average life expectancy of the people will reach at least 100 years.

In 2040, I would like to see the world make significant strides in **sustainable energy and environmental protection**. I envision a future where the majority of energy comes from renewable sources such as solar, wind and geothermal, and where fossil fuels are a thing of the past. This change would significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow global warming. In this future, cities would be full of green spaces, with vertical gardens and vegetated rooftops to help regulate temperature and improve air quality. Transportation would be mostly electric, with autonomous vehicles to optimize traffic flows and minimize congestion. Public transport would be fast, efficient and accessible to all. People would live in harmony with nature, with an emphasis on recycling and zero waste. Technology would help us monitor and restore ecosystems to make them healthy and resilient. Education would focus on sustainability and environmental awareness so that everyone understands their role in protecting the planet. This future would be one of optimism and cooperation, where humanity works together to create a better world for future generations. It would be a place where we would feel proud of how we have risen to the challenges and created a sustainable and prosperous society.

Let's imagine 2040 and a future that I would like... I would choose the field of healthcare and longevity. I would imagine a world where medicine has made huge strides with advanced genetics and regenerative medicine. People would live to a ripe old age in great shape because we would be able to repair damaged tissues, regenerate organs, and prevent serious diseases before they even start. Cancer would no longer be fatal, but a temporary problem that could be easily cured. Moreover, prevention would be so advanced that people would not have to spend years in poor health. Everyone would have access to personalised medicine - medication, nutrition and exercise would be tailored to their genetic profile and lifestyle.

In 2040, I would like to see a world where there is more balance between technology and nature. People would use modern technology to protect the environment instead of destroying it. For example, smart cities would have green roofs, vertical gardens and energy self-sufficient buildings. Transport would be green - electric and hydrogen cars would replace combustion engines. Public transport would be fast, convenient and accessible to all. Healthcare would be more advanced with artificial intelligence to help diagnose diseases. People would have greater access to quality education, regardless of their background or financial situation. Society would be more focused on mental health, and people would have more time for family and personal development. My ideal world in 2040 would be sustainable, just and harmonious.

The year is 2050. The war in Ukraine ended in 2026 after Russia capitulated, which by military action led to a coup in the country. A few months later Putin died, reportedly of a heart attack. Twenty years after Russia invaded Ukraine. In the World, nothing has changed, the stronger oppress the weaker, no one cares about climate change, which year after year leads to cataclysms around the globe. If not a flood, then a tsunami or an earthquake. Nothing has changed in human mentality, it's only getting worse.

In 2040, Europe should be a place of equality, social justice and sustainability. I would like Europe to become a leader in the fight against climate change, betting on a green transition and renewable energy. Over the next 15 years, we should transition to an economic system based on the principles of social justice, sustainability and environmental responsibility. This would mean widespread availability of cheap, clean energy, as well as massive investment in public transportation that would connect cities while reducing carbon emissions. European society should be based on inclusiveness and solidarity. I would like to see that in 2040 everyone has equal access to education, health care and basic social services, regardless of their economic status. In my vision, Europe is a space where marginalized groups, such as people with disabilities, ethnic minorities or immigrants, have full rights to participate in social and professional life. European Union member states should support the development of local communities, providing them with financial and political support in their quest for self-reliance. In 2040, Europe should also be a responsible global player, promoting human rights and social justice on the international stage. The future of the Union should be based on a more democratic and transparent approach, in which citizen participation is a key element of the decision-making process. I would like Europe to be a symbol of openness and diversity, and a place where everyone has a chance to live in dignity, regardless of origin, religion or sexual orientation.

I dream of a Europe where everyone can be themselves. Everyone would be happy, not having to be afraid of other people, terrorists, etc. Everyone would have a job and a home. Health care would be good and easily accessible with a low threshold. Europe should be democratic in its decisions, so that one country, for example, cannot reject the majority's wishes. At present, emigration is the cause of the vast majority of street-level fears (drugs, sex crime, violent crime, etc...) and this needs to be addressed. More police officers are needed to patrol e.g. city centres and suburbs. Training should remain at least at the current level (in Finland) and should continue to be free of charge. It could be easier to move to and make a living in other Member States, to make Europe more coherent. People should be supported to eat healthily, at the moment all cheap food is hollow carbohydrates with no nutritional value. So tax breaks for healthy food.
