2030s

The 2030s is the upcoming decade that will begin on 1 January 2030 and end on 31 December 2039.

Plans and goals

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% 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.
The World Bank has called for all countries to implement universal health care by this time.
