2080s

The 2080s (pronounced "twenty-eighties") is a decade of the Gregorian calendar that will begin on January 1, 2080, and will end on December 31, 2089. Things included here are notable predictions by world organizations, figures of ideal goals set, and scheduled events as of the present year.[lower-alpha 1] As a caveat, there is no way for sure to predict any given event as up to date information frequently changes. There are ongoing futures studies that seek to understand what is likely to continue and what could plausibly change. Predictions for apocalyptic events and the second coming of Christ are discussed elsewhere.

Notable predictions and known events

2080
  • According to The China Modernization Report, China is expected to be one of the most developed countries in the world, equivalent to the level of the United States of the early 21st century.[1]

2084
  • The lease held by the Pitjantjatjara people on Uluru to Australian government set to expire.

2088
  • October 27 - Mercury occults Jupiter for the first time since 1708, but very close to the Sun and impossible to view with the naked eye.[2]

2089
  • May–June – Insect Magicicada broods X (17-year) and XIX (13-year) will emerge simultaneously. This will be the first time this will occur since 1868; next time will be in 2310. This event occurs only once in every 221 years.[3]

Fictional events
  • 21st century in fiction
gollark: Oh yes, the new ones just directly reify matter via universe direct memory access.
gollark: Those mostly just need to be a long tungsten rod and maybe GTech™ telemetry uplink, so a few seconds.
gollark: Yes, but they're expensive. It takes as much as *2 minutes* on some of the old GTech™ autofactories to make a replacement.
gollark: We don't deorbit entire orbital facilities, just mostly-passive projectiles.
gollark: The internet connection on them is great, due to their high-bandwidth microwave/macrowave/avioformic/neutrino/optical/apioformic/etc. data links.
