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.

Family care
I would like to see better living conditions for our aged loved ones. Integrated living in communities with support for all their needs. Most people would like to remain in their own homes but sometimes because of the way life throws us curve balls this is not possible without huge support . I believe we could serve our loved ones better with better structured healthcare programmes giving them a new purpose with innovative plans to help them live their best life

Gesundheit
HEALTH: In 15 years, I will not be able or have to go to the doctor. I give my complaint to an AI, which immediately measures my blood pressure, heart, etc., possibly medications are available within a very short time by drone. If complicated treatment is suspected, an ambulance is automatically requested to be admitted to a corresponding hospital.

Totally United Europe
In 2040, I would love to see a totally united Europe including the countries that are part of the EU but are not as supportive as many countries, and including Ukraine and other countries that are not yet part of the EU. It would make it so much more attractive to holiday in a totally united Europe - and hopefully, the costs will not have soured as they have been doing for many European countries.

Zurück in die Vergangenheit
Keine E-Autos mehr auf den Straßen. Das war vorraus zu sehen. Überall verwaiste E-Ladestationen. Das das Netz zusammen brechen würde war vielen klar, aber der kleine Mann hatte ja nichts zu sagen. Gas teuer, Strom zusammen gebrochen, wir sind anstatt vorwärts zu gehen zurück in die Vergangenheit geraten. Panik bricht aus, Kreditkarte funktionieren nicht mehr, Bargeld ist kaum vorhanden. Kommt jetzt doch Windkraft oder Wasserkraft? Wassermühlen wie früher? Brettspiele statt Fernsehen und Handy?
