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.

I would like people to have more time for themselves and for other people in the future; so that life does not run at such an insane pace; so that the work takes half a day, not the whole day and at the same time gives such earnings to live pleasantly and safely. I would like to live safely, not afraid of whether I can afford to maintain the apartment. I would like people to respect each other, to respect the environment, the Earth and animals; so that we have something to breathe, clean forests, rivers, lakes. I wish a cure for cancer could be found.

I have been retired for a few years and live a serene elderly life in my own home with my spouse. I don't have grandchildren because my own children didn't want to have children because they felt uncertain about the climate and the future. The carbon neutrality targets have finally been achieved, a few years later than planned, but much easier and cheaper than what was intimidated by the government parties in 2025. Right-wing parties have lost support and tolerance and understanding differences are commonplace. Immigration has increased with climate refugees, but it has also helped to keep the whole country inhabited. Agriculture is flourishing and our country is self-sufficient in grain. Thanks to wind, water and nuclear power, our country is also self-sufficient in terms of energy. Being at the forefront of the green revolution, the country has received a lot of investment that has been linked to the green economy, and that is why our economy has grown and debt is being paid off, rather than being increased. Young people's faith in the future is brighter than in years, and as a result of good health and economic policy, the world's population has turned to decline. It is no longer necessary to have children in order to ensure that old age is safeguarded. In every country, girls get to go to school and decide on their own body. I can quietly close my eyes and fall asleep in the afternoon sun for a moment and then get up to make an early dinner for myself and my spouse.

In the future, humanity has arrived at a time when we realize that we need each other. No one is anyone's enemy, no one is left alone, everyone is needed because there are tasks for everyone big or small. We tell each other stories and hang out. The time in front of all screens has been reduced.

The war in Ukraine is over. Russia is divided into 10-15 countries. Europe has a common armed force, high-tech, mobile. The EU is actively competing with the US and China in cutting-edge technologies, the economy has stagnated. Islam in Europe is banned and hopefully the Arabs in the Middle East are beginning to give up Islam. A-Europe has achieved R-Europe in economic development. Migrants who are not ready to accept Western culture, everyday life, laws should go to their countries of birth or where they are welcomed. AI intelligence and technological developments allow people to work less physically and devote more time to their development, creation, science, family, travel.
