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.
