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.

In the future, I want there to be a focus on having a healthy and attractive work environment, with opportunities for all people, where you develop as the person you are. There will be a strong focus on young people getting a good education as they did in the happy 80s, when people learned to write by hand and not on digital media... That we forget AI and return to the days when we talked together mentally and not through social media. Taking care of the elderly in nursing homes and making sure they had a good time after a long working life where they had contributed a lot of money to society. A world where Mette Frederiksen and Corona had never existed. Back to Mogens Glistrup and Anker Jørgensen.

Zelená budoucnost

In 2040, I would like to see a world where there is more balance between technology and nature. People would use modern technology to protect the environment instead of destroying it. For example, smart cities would have green roofs, vertical gardens and energy self-sufficient buildings. Transport would be green - electric and hydrogen cars would replace combustion engines. Public transport would be fast, convenient and accessible to all. Healthcare would be more advanced with artificial intelligence to help diagnose diseases. People would have greater access to quality education, regardless of their background or financial situation. Society would be more focused on mental health, and people would have more time for family and personal development. My ideal world in 2040 would be sustainable, just and harmonious.

Svajonių gyvenimas

I believe that the old continent of Europe will be safe and very beautiful in the future, with the disappearance of tyrants and dictators like Putin, and that we will live in peace and happiness, preserving nature and its resources. There will be enough work for four days a week, health care will reach a high level, the average life expectancy of the people will reach at least 100 years.

Rok 2050

In 2050 I would imagine a beautiful and bright future without quarrels and wars, so that all people are happy and content. As for the environment, I hope to plant more trees and keep order so that there is plenty of greenery and wildlife. So as far as development technology is concerned I would like to see normal (diesel/petrol) cars as well as electric cars, also better and more accessible infrastructure to foreign countries and villages. Let there be more affordable housing for young people who would like to afford or even own a house or land as salaries and wages are miserable and inflation is not helping. Let the shops be more modern but at the same time don't take staff away because of modernity as jobs are hard to find. Lastly, people could be more kind and friendly to each other, to other people, to animals and to the planet.That concludes my wishes for 2050.
