In 2050 I am standing on a roof terrace in Amsterdam, where the city skyline has been changed by floating gardens and sustainable skyscrapers that capture energy from the sun and the wind. The canals are now clean and filled with biodiversity, and self-driving boats slide silently past. Traffic on the street has disappeared, replaced by electric vehicles that move quickly and quietly through a network of underground highways. The air is fresh, thanks to decades of global cooperation to drastically reduce CO2 emissions.

Between 2025 and 2050, the transition to renewable energy has accelerated, and the world has learned to work together rather than compete. Climate change is slowly under control, but there is still work to be done. Education is digitised and personalised, with artificial intelligence helping students to follow their own learning path. People no longer work in traditional office gardens; Working from home and flexible working hours have become the norm.

Today I drink coffee from a biodegradable cup, looking at a city that has finally found its balance between technology, nature and people.

My future should be uneventful, peaceful and interesting. I want health care to be improved so that everyone has the opportunity for health care. That medicines of every kind are available. That every hospital has all the necessary facilities, that those facilities are new and functional...

Environmentally conscious future
Something that is incredibly important to me is environment and animal rights. I would love to see more efforts towards recycling, and have paid recycling incentives for people. Right now you can take the glass beer bottles back to be recycled and get 2czk for each, it would be amazing if the same could be done for paper and other recyclable materials. That would encourage people to recycle more. I would love to see more efforts put towards having charity events that fund companies which help endangered animals. More government organized incentives and events to help our environment. It could also be great to have events where people can take some clothing that is about to be sent to landfills and upcycle it, maybe also have more clothes that are thrown away from fast fashion clothing stores be donated to those in need here and around the world. It could also be beneficial to have a small class in schools that teaches about the environment, how recycling works, and actionable steps everyone can take to be environmentally friendly.

Ještě žijeme?
In 2040 it will be a completely different world, everything will be controlled by robots and artificial intelligence. I think there will be no money and even eating habits will change. More solar panels will be developed and we will use more sun. The weather will be around 10⁰c over winter and summers will be longer. Artificial intelligence will take over and we will be creatures of survival

pohodová a klidná budoucnost
The future is very uncertain for a lot of people today and their children. I think it would be great if people didn't have to deal with the complex issue of housing. If good paying jobs were available to everyone so they didn't have to worry about not having a place to live. Just security in the basic necessities of life for everyone. People should also look out for nature, housing with lots of green space, parks, forests, etc. So that young and old have somewhere to go and spend pleasant moments together. It would also be nice if people were not so aggressive and mean to each other. To bring a bit of tolerance, respect and esteem not only for the elderly, but for each other in general. To be able to help each other selflessly when needed, to be able to say hello and even smile. Today's life is terribly chaotic, complex, demanding. It's not easy to make the future better, to make it a little bit sunnier. Learn to solve problems calmly and together. So that parents don't have to deal with health care, like where I'm going to have my baby. Just to try to calm down situations that don't need to be unnecessarily spiked, so that life itself is relaxed even if sometimes things go wrong.
