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.

Connectivity
Eu is seen not as one country, but as one unit. Nott divided by borders, but bound together by land. Instead of moving toward silos, goods are flowing freely between the countries, improving living standards, economies, and development exponentially. Transportations are eco friendly and connected between countries. EU is is the leading force in the world.

Endlich auf einem guten Weg
Wir haben als Menschheit den Klimawandel gerade noch gestoppt, nun gilt es gemeinsam sich gegen die natürlich immer noch bestehenden Starkwetterereignisse, getaute Gletscher und gestiegene Meere zu schützen. Zum Glück wurden 2035 alle Kriege auf der Erde gestoppt und die Völker sind endlich zusammengerückt. Autokratien, Diktatoren und Herrscher, wie sie in der Vergangenheit Gang und gebe waren wurden abgeschafft um sich auf die Menschheitsziele der SDG der UN zu konzentrieren. Auch wurde das kapitalistische Wirtschaftssystem weltweit angepasst, zum Wohle aller Menschen, dies führte zwar zu etwas geringerem materiellen Wohlstand, doch habe die Menschen erkannt, dass es wichtigeres im Leben gibt als Geld, das de facto ja nur ein Tauschmittel ist. Es bleibt eine Menge zu tun, den 100 Jahre wurden verpennt.

Nākotne tīrā vidē
Nākotnē vēlos ,lai cilvēki izmantotu braucamo velosipēdus,katram būtu zemes gabals un pats audzētu pārtiku ģimenei .Vairāk cilvēki domātu ,ka apģērbs jāvalkā ilgi ,nevis jāpērk jauns katru sezonu.Protams vēlos ,lai katrs vairāk domātu par dabu un to nepiesārņotu .Skolās mācītu vairāk par to kā saudzēt dabu un visu vajadzīgo apmācītu ,kas vajadzīgs nākotnē.

I envision a future where labor is not exploitative, where there is a minimum wage requirement, and workers are truly protected and not treated as mere numbers. People who at the end of their workday still have the strength and hope to go and live their lives outside. I imagine women not being refused contract renewals because they are pregnant or may be pregnant in the future. I imagine a world where people with disabilities are truly protected, backed by society, and where health care is free without having biblical wait times.
