Date unknown

• Predicted (in 2022) the year in which both the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 space probes will run out of power and cease transmission.
• New petrol and diesel cars will be banned from sale in the UK.
• Masdar City in Abu Dhabi, UAE, is expected to be completed by 2030.
• The 2030 Asian Games are scheduled to be held in Doha.
• A Japanese construction firm, the Shimizu Corporation, in concert with many research firms and government agencies, has plans for an underwater city of 5,000 people called the "ocean spiral" 4.5 km (2.8 mi) off the Japanese coast, which will consist of a giant sphere containing homes and businesses situated just below the surface, held up by a 14 km (9 mi) spiral descending to the seabed, where there will be a submarine port and a factory powering the city by using microorganisms that turn carbon dioxide into methane. The Shimizu Corporation plans to start construction in 2025.
• Targets of the goals of the United Nations' 2030 Agenda are set for 2030.
• Some climate-related goals from COP26 are for 2030:
  • The Glasgow Climate Pact aims to "[reduce] global carbon dioxide emissions by 55 percent by 2030 relative to the 2010 level". However, based on existing pledges the emissions in the year 2030 will be 14% higher than in 2010.
  • More than 100 countries pledged to reverse deforestation.
  • India plans to draw half of its energy requirement from renewable sources.
  • China aims to peak CO₂ emissions before 2030.
• The 2030 Climate Target Plan of the EU aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030. The European Commission made proposals in July 2021 for how to achieve this goal.
• The international community, including the United Nations, World Bank, and the United States, have set the goal of completely eradicating extreme poverty by 2030. Noting a significant decline in extreme poverty since 1990, the World Bank has noted that the end of extreme poverty is in sight and pledged to cut it down to at most 3% of the world's population by this time.
• The World Health Organization and UNICEF have set a goal for universal access to basic sanitation by 2030.
• The United Nations has made it a goal that Internet access and literacy will be universal by 2030. French demographist Emmanuel Todd forecasted that the global literacy rates will be almost 100% by this year.
• The World Bank has called for all countries to implement universal health care by this time.
• Kenya Vision 2030
• Saudi Vision 2030
• Egypt Vision 2030
• Qatar National Vision 2030
• National Development Plan 2030
• Eritrea Vision 2030
• Sudan Vision 2030
• Bahrain Economic Vision 2030
• Transport for London making all buses electric.
• Finland plans on being a nicotine-free and smoke-free country by 2030.

Technological advancements

By 2030, the world is expected to experience significant advances in artificial intelligence, automation, quantum computing, and other frontier technologies, leading to transformative effects on economies, societies, and daily life. Analysts predict that artificial intelligence will become deeply integrated into industries such as healthcare, education, finance, and transportation. AI systems are expected to handle increasingly complex tasks, from autonomous vehicles and personalized medicine to generative content creation and predictive analytics.

The World Economic Forum projects that by 2030, up to 85 million jobs may be displaced by automation, but 97 million new roles may emerge that are more adapted to the new division of labor between humans, machines, and algorithms.

Moreover, advances in quantum computing and neurotechnology are also forecasted to mature significantly by 2030, potentially enabling breakthroughs in drug discovery, cryptography, and brain-computer interfaces. Governments and global institutions are increasingly recognizing the need to balance innovation with regulation to ensure ethical use of these technologies.

Global warming

Significant impacts of global warming are expected by 2030, as climate models project continued temperature rise, extreme weather events, and sea-level rise. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global warming is likely to reach or exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels between 2030 and 2052 if it continues to increase at the current rate. The United Nations Environment Programme warned in its 2023 Emissions Gap Report that without immediate and deep emissions cuts, the world is on track for a 2.5–2.9°C temperature rise this century. These trends are expected to cause increasing threats to ecosystems, food and water security, human health, and coastal infrastructure by 2030.

Mitigation Efforts

Efforts to mitigate the impacts of global warming focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, transitioning to renewable energy sources, enhancing energy efficiency, and protecting carbon sinks such as forests and wetlands. International agreements like the Paris Agreement aim to limit global temperature rise well below 2°C, preferably to 1.5°C, by encouraging countries to set nationally determined contributions (NDCs) for emissions reduction. Additionally, technological advancements in carbon capture and storage (CCS) and sustainable agriculture practices are increasingly recognized as vital components in addressing climate change. However, the effectiveness of these efforts depends on global cooperation and timely implementation.
