2090s
Late twenty-first century
The 2090s refers to the decade spanning 2090 to 2099, the final decade of the 21st century.
Like other future decades, it appears primarily in speculative contexts—science fiction, climate projections, demographic forecasts, and long-range planning documents: By the 2090s, sea levels could rise significantly.
