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.

Zukunft für Deutschland
In the future, Germany will once again be the hub of Europe. Migration and education are the pillars of the economy. Germany is independent of the USA, Russia and China. Innovation is a top priority and strongly promoted. Agriculture is only grown organically. Great importance is attached to sustainability. Ownership structures are being reorganized; tenants are given the chance to buy their rented apartment. Community life is similar to that of a cooperative. One for all, all for one. The healthcare system is being reorganized. The amount of one's own participation plus the subsidy from the state makes up the security. The more participation, the higher the subsidy. This also applies to the pension system. Germany is once again a popular vacation destination. The defense of our country consists of conscripts, volunteers and professional soldiers. Alternatively, there is civilian service. Major decisions are made by the people. Decision-making processes are much shorter. This should be feasible within 48 hours. We can talk about green landscapes again in the future.

Europas Werte
Europe should become more independent and self-confident. Nations that slide to the right should be excluded. Those who do not share the values of democracy and are only interested in profit should leave the EU. If this spirit prevails again, Europe will also have good prospects for the future,

DRUGACNOST
I am now living in 2040 and my children are facing a very different world. All lessons are only half an hour. All lessons are done behind computers and strange electronics. The weather has also got better, it very rarely rains and snow falls in abundance during the winter. The climate is controlled by us humans. We have also got medicines for almost everything (cancer, covid). The world has changed completely

Le retour de la sérénité
Given the current geo-political situation, I'd like our world to be at peace, less polluted, and for everyone to be able to live in harmony and on their own terms, for life to be peaceful and for the products needed for everyday life to be accessible to all. I hope that the world of politics and trade unions will at last be serious, balanced, respectful of everyone and listen to them with respect.
