2040, 10 September. Europe has become the most advanced climate neutrality region in the world. Cities have completely abandoned fossil fuels, and each building has its own energy production system based on solar, wind and kinetic energy.

Evelina, now an experienced scientist, works in a global climate innovation lab that develops AI-powered air purification mechanisms. The streets are green, overflowing with vertical gardens, and the vehicles - without any pollution. Waste of water and food has become a thing of the past, as bioengineering has developed the most effective processing methods.

Society has also changed - the working week has been reduced to four days, as robotisation and AI have allowed people more time for creativity and personal development. The education system has introduced holistic teaching, where everyone can learn at their own pace, and virtual universities connect people from all over the world.

Evelina looks at the centre of Vilnius, where people communicate in the squares, musicians play, and technology serves not as a separation, but as a tool of unity. "This is what the future should have been like," she thinks, as she watches the sun set over the green horizons of the city.

Frieden auf erden
We all live together in peace and respect, no one has to starve or die of thirst. If we fall ill, we receive medical help. The water on earth is clean and the air is pure. There are no more cars in Germany's inner cities and the cycle paths are safe and well developed. Everyone is in work and people are balanced and friendly.

intercity vervoer
A trip without worries to another European country would be nice. In fact, you could easily, for example, track from Bilbao to Cologne in a few hours in fast trains without too many stops in between. All major cities with about 250 000 inhabitants should be connected to such a network. Currently you lose many hours by constantly changing trains , so people take the plane. The current night trains are a start but the length of time is still far too long.

Vereintes Europa
People pay more attention to the environment and there is no more plastic. They have more time in the day as robots take over many tasks and work is limited to mental rather than physical labor. The countries in the European Union have finally moved closer together and the continent is perceived as a unit rather than fragmented. You can still travel to all member states through open borders, there is a single currency and no war in Europe.

A secure pension and getting people out of loneliness.Self-determined living and dying.Being and listening.Being free of values.Respecting each other.Driving climate change forward,it affects us all.Protecting our children,they are the most important thing we have.Not forgetting animal welfare.Our time is limited,use it.Giving good thoughts,a smile or an angel who is by our side.
