The 2030s (pronounced "twenty-thirties"; shortened to the '30s) is the next decade in the Gregorian calendar that is expected to begin on 1 January 2030, and end on 31 December 2039.
A number of climate-related goals from COP26 are for 2030:
The Glasgow Climate Pact aims to "[reduce] global carbon dioxide emissions by 55 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 pledged to reverse deforestation.
India plans to draw half of its energy requirement from renewable sources.[5]
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]
NASA plans to deorbit the International Space Station in January of this year, directing any unbroken remnants into Point Nemo in the South Pacific Ocean.
