Ateities Vilnius

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 a democratic country everything should work according to fair and balanced rules. If we all had stable jobs, and everyone paid taxes, the whole system would run more smoothly. If everyone thought of providing a good service instead of getting rich quickly, it would be better for everyone.

Det blir aldrig så bra som man hoppas, men inte heller så illa som man kan befara
By 2040, we have solved the current energy crisis, and our fossil dependence is broken. Our natural resources are managed sustainably. The population growth in the world has stopped, and the population is decreasing in the world. Life expectancy is increasing globally. I would like the UN to have a leading role in the world, and to be able to put power according to what it decides. Now you are too toothless in conflicts. Given the current world situation, I hope that Russia no longer poses any threat to anyone. That Ukraine has entered the EU and NATO, and that the inhabitants of the US choose leaders who behave like leaders and nothing else. If you want to be a world leader, you have to be one for the whole world and nothing else. But I probably won't be there, so I'll see how it goes.

Maailma hengittää taas!
2040 is a turning point in world history. We have been working together for 20 years. As a result of these efforts, re-freezing has been observed in polar glaciers. The Gulf Stream continues to flow and keeps the Nordic climate tolerable. The amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide has decreased. Thank you for making the Brazilian and Asian rainforests grow and function as the lungs of the world. Invasive alien species spread to new areas are returning to their original habitats. The number of wildfires in previous years has decreased and the number of tropical hurricanes has been lower than in previous years. All this, now and in the years to come, has been made possible by the collective effort of the peoples of the world for a common world. A world that is only on loan. The senseless frenzy of increasing the production of all products has ceased and produces only the blood that the sustainable production capacity of the Earth makes possible. Recycling is well underway on continents and in countries where recycling has not taken place in the past. The world's seas, rivers and waterways have recovered from the enormous plastic waste that has been sown in them, thanks to advanced technology and awareness for the good of our waterways.
