2080s
Late twenty-first century
The 2080s are the decade from 2080 to 2089.
Like other future decades, the term appears in speculative fiction, climate projections, and long-range planning: By the 2080s, sea levels could rise significantly.
Scientists and futurists reference the 2080s when modeling demographic shifts, technological development, or environmental change.
