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.

Deutschland 2040

We are once again living in peace, prosperity and contentment. Migration from Muslim-majority countries has been stopped completely due to the high level of violence and thousands of deaths caused by them. Since then, women and the rest of the population have been able to move freely in public again without fear. Deportations of violent criminals are carried out on a daily basis and illegal immigrants are detained in deportation camps. These measures have saved billions of euros over the years, which have been used for fair pensions, healthcare and infrastructure. The migrants who are granted the right to stay are only provided with accommodation, food and clothing from donations. The government consists of the two strongest factions to ensure stability. Left-wing extremism has been almost completely eradicated. The war in Ukraine has ended peacefully. The EU is still complaining today about the trillion-dollar grave of "Ukraine support" The politicians who were responsible for this waste of money because of their ideological stance are all in prison. In short: all is right with the world again.

In my future vision, people are no longer indifferent. They look out for each other. I hope out of all the world woes this will come. Americans are now making conscious contact with Europeans. I hope this continues. And that we come back from the far-right. This is not good, migrants can actually contribute a lot. Namely knowledge and wisdom of the country of origin. And with citizen groups we can really achieve something

Airport of future

In 2040 there will be airports with train like qualities to them. Where there will be no need to queue for hours in security lines or arrive set times before flights. This will be done through automated scanners that detect instantly whether the correct protocol has been followed

Manas laimīgās vecumdienas.

The world is at peace. All bloody conflicts are over. People care about preserving the planet's ecosystem. We are producing less and less useless products. We are learning how to use resources. Wisely and usefully. We sort our waste carefully and recycle most of it. We use mostly energy resources. We use sustainable methods_ hydro, solar, wind. We also prioritise our own health while fighting for a healthy environment. I spend a lot of time by the sea in the summer, going for long walks and skiing in the winter through the snow-covered forest. My grandchildren are grown up and do not require much care. So I feel content to enjoy a happy old age. I devote a lot of time to my hobbies - gardening and travelling. The flowers in my garden are blooming and the tomatoes are coming up. I travel not too far, but slowly, enjoying the beautiful landscapes of European countries. The most important thing is to take care of your health and the health of your loved ones.The authorities have realised this and health care is becoming more and more accessible and not fantastically expensive.
