Plans and goals[edit]
- NASA plans to execute a human mission to Mars between 2031 and 2035.[1]
- Targets of the goals of the United Nations' 2030 Agenda are set to 2030.[2]
- A number of climate-related goals from COP26 are for 2030:
- The Glasgow Climate Pact aims to "[reduce] global carbon dioxide emissions by 45 per cent by 2030 relative to the 2010 level".[3] However, based on existing pledges the emissions in the year 2030 will be 14% higher than in 2010.[4]
- More than 100 countries, including Brazil, pledged to reverse deforestation.
- India plans to draw half of its energy requirement from renewable sources.[5]
- China aims to peak CO2 emissions before 2030.[6]
- 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.[7]
- The international community, including the United Nations, World Bank, and United States, have set the goal of completely eradicating extreme poverty by 2030.[8] 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.[9]
- The World Health Organization and UNICEF have set a goal for universal access to basic sanitation by 2030.[10]
- The United Nations has made it a goal that Internet access and literacy will be universal by 2030.[11][12]
- The World Bank has called for all countries to implement universal health care by this time.[13]
- Saudi Vision 2030
- Melbourne 2030

- ITER is expected to achieve full fusion in 2035.[23]
2036[edit]
- On 7 February, the 64-bit timestamps used by NTP, which consists of a 32-bit part for seconds and a 32-bit part for fractional seconds that gives a time scale that rolls over every 232 seconds (136 years) and a theoretical resolution of 2−32 seconds (233 picoseconds), and due to the fact that the NTP uses an epoch of 1 January 1900, will cause the first roll over to occur in this year.[24]
- The United States military's lease on the island of Diego Garcia, part of the British Indian Ocean Territory, will expire if it is not renewed.[25]

2038[edit]
- 19 January: Any computer systems still measuring time with signed 32-bit Unix time will fail on account of the year 2038 problem.
- 12 April: Documents related to the NSA's PRISM program are to be declassified by the U.S. Government.[28]
- 25 April: Easter will occur on its latest possible date. The last time this occurred was in 1943 and, after 2038, the next time it will occur will be in 2190.
