2097

2097 is a year in the Gregorian calendar. It falls in the late 21st century and is the 97th year of that century.

Demographics and society: Long-range projections for 2097 vary widely, but several broad trends are commonly discussed. Global population growth is expected to slow, with aging populations in many regions and ongoing urbanization. Economic development may continue to shift toward service, knowledge, and high-technology sectors, while inequalities and resource pressures remain prominent policy concerns.

Technology and infrastructure: Advances in automation, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, energy storage, and communications are anticipated to influence work, transportation, and daily life. The energy mix is expected to be increasingly low-carbon, with renewables and potentially new energy technologies contributing to energy security.

Environment and space: Climate change adaptation and mitigation will shape policy and infrastructure; sea-level rise and extreme weather pose risks to populations and assets. In space, sustained exploration and activity beyond Earth, such as lunar bases or Mars missions, are topics of ongoing planning and international collaboration, though concrete outcomes in 2097 remain uncertain.

In culture and scholarship: The year 2097 may appear in science fiction and speculative studies as a backdrop for exploring future governance, ethics, and technology. Encyclopedic discussions about the year focus on projecting long-term trends rather than recording actual events.
