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.

Įgalinantis lygiateisiškumas

I envision a free society that respects all people, where discrimination no longer exists, where LGBTQ+ people no longer feel fear, and where they are free to travel with their children, to live and create. I envision a society where there is no room for inequality, where sexist jokes are taken as seriously as any other attack, where women truly have equal opportunities. Where politicians and public figures show respect for people, and where educational institutions no longer contain topics that are uncomfortable to talk about. Across Europe, wherever they live, whatever their gender, race, religion, health, gender identity or sexual orientation, whatever their background, they feel safe, dignified and respected. Imagine how that respect for each other allows people to create, work, dream and achieve their dreams freely - with economic prosperity, a willingness to share and help each other, people's trust in government, and security - because every citizen believes and wants to defend, even if it means by force of arms, his or her country.

En värld av solidaritet och omtanke.

A future characterized by solidarity and caring, where the capitalist consumer society has been partially replaced by a society where caring for each other is a priority. A utopia to change society before 2040 but hopefully we can take some steps in the right direction. A society where both rich and poor have access to good healthcare and education. Taking care of each other and this planet gets more focus than fighting over land.

Wereldtentoonstelling 2040

Feb 24, 2040, the World Expo will kick off in Brussels, the heart of Europe. The past 15 years have seen an economic upheaval thanks in part to good, innovative and sustainable EU policies. The EU now has the largest economy in the world, no longer the U.S. Policies in the later 1920s in the U.S. caused a lot of big companies to go belly up. European companies empowered by EU policies grew as a result and became market leaders in many sectors. With that, this World's Fair as has never been seen before! Among others: the first portable quantum computer on the go, a nuclear fusion reactor small and powerful enough to power a city, autonomous air cabs running on hydrogen, plastic-eating bacteria and much more!

Futuro rosa

The best future should be, as they say, "pink." Everything should be almost perfect. Work for all, respect and love. Respect for nature and animals. Helping people in need. Politicians who do our interests so we can live with dignity and not thieves. This should be the future I look forward to.
