Especially recently, I feel that in many areas we are not going well. However, two seem to me to be the most critical points for change: (a) the large climate chapter, and (b) the gradual elimination of active citizenship, who is interested in their fellow citizens and the community to which they belong/are part of/live.
In 2040, therefore, we will ideally have achieved any change that can still occur in terms of climate change. The temperature will remain stable at current levels, the glaciers will continue to suffer, heat fires will have been reduced, etc. The ways we have achieved this achievement will be holistic and long-term, so that they will have an effect and duration (e.g. in Paris they are trying to unlock rivers and streams in order to bring down the temperature, while at the same time taking the public through the installation of air-conditioning units, which would raise the temperature of at least 2 degrees in the city). Of course, this approach is linked to the second strand of the described future, that of active citizenship. In order to achieve this, the people of the Earth will have changed mindsets, the sense of responsibility we all have towards the planet, not only in theory, but in substance, has been strengthened. The world will have mobilised, realising that changes are not taking place by writing 2 whistle-blower paragraphs on the internet that may inspire a proportion of the world, but so far, but need concrete actions, which are organised, cooperative, shared and mass. As active citizens, we will enjoy solidarity, conspiracy and mutual support for each other’s fellow citizens, building on and strengthening the concept of public space vis-à-vis the private one. Everyone’s altruism, feeling of inclusiveness and empathy will have increased.
Every action and every attempt to make a positive change is part of a chain, where each link is linked to the others and it is impossible to fundamentally change the situation if we do not act comprehensively and through all the parts that make up the living system.

The future of Europe, I hope, can be oriented toward the pursuit of the least possible environmental impact, the pursuit of scientific progress in the medical field, greater integration among peoples and less financial inequality among people, more attention to civil rights

Pollution would finally be falling, and a real awareness would have taken place everywhere (Europe and the rest of the world). No more active military conflicts in Europe and as few as possible in the rest of the world. Politicians would at last be willing to act for the good of all, and not for their own personal gain. Leaders would take a long-term view and not just look ahead to election dates...

The European Commission, that group of liberal satraps, has at last been replaced by democratically elected leaders, their cowardly behavior in the face of Russia having discredited them and led to a revolt by the nations that refuse to accept the expansion of the Ukraine they have maintained at arm's length, to the detriment of their agricultures, invaded by low-end products. Nations that came only to benefit from subsidies have been ejected, and are content with a free-trade agreement. Great Britain joined the Union as an observer. The bankruptcy of the German system and its coal-based energy finally made it possible to dispense with its tutelage. President Trump died, victim of Musk's coup. China tried again to invade Viet-Nam and took another beating. And I'm 89 years old.

I hope that in 2040 the current EU will become a federal state (EFV) with one army, one leadership, well armed and a major power within NATO. Japan and Australia and South Korea will join NATO. Lithuania will have a standard of living above the EU average. Ukraine will be declared a candidate for the EFV and will participate as an additional force in its defence structure. Lithuanian industry will be dominated by new technology companies and scientific institutions will be able to train qualified personnel for this field. Lithuanian agriculture will become a highly productive sector and will not require compensation from the State. Corruption will be extremely rare and punished severely, just like drug use and distribution. EFV units will be deployed on the territory of Lithuania, i.e. on the EFV border. It will be easy to do business in Lithuania, with well-developed opportunities to export products to third countries other than terrorist countries, including Russia.
