A few currently middle income nations will have moved into first world realm.
A few currently poor nations will have moved into middle income realm.
The ability to grow a variety of organs from cells. Heat disease & lung cancer can be cured without donors or artificial devices.
First humans will have walked on Mars. More concrete and knowledgeable ideas for terraforming will be seriously planned.
Multiple earthlike worlds will have been discovered and the chemical makeup of their atmospheres studied, allowing us to determine with high degree of certainty the location of many of the living worlds in our neighboorhood.
By 2050, most people will have virtual reality glasses and neurostimulators that simulate movement and feeling. Many people will be addicted to these consoles and never leave home. Instead, they will have drones deliver their daily nutritional pills.
Private transportation, or transportation in general will decline as people meet through VR-mediated channels.
80% of people will be supported by a 20%-strong workforce in the United States. Scientists will find ways to energize the body on fewer calories, which in turn will mean almost no starvation.
Much of trade will be virtual, much of agriculture fully mechanized by robotics. Children will be pulled from their consoles and sent away to camp to live the "old way".
The fertility rate will drop well below the replacement level as individuals will be able to get their sexual satisfaction virtually, and even have virtual children.

No...because there is no such thing as Climate Change. Bet you worried the world was coming to an end at Y2K also.
Y2K would have, if people had put their heads in the sand and not recognized that it was an actual threat, and taken steps to avert it.
But climate change will not move fast enough to affect us by 2050. People are their own worst enemies, and will themselves do what needs to be done to make things unendurable. By any of our criteria, the world will be a terrible place to live in 2050, but people who lived in 1950 think the world is a terrible place now, too. But everybody grew up in the changing world, and are used to it, and will be in 2050, too.
The 2050's is well after the singularity (2030-2045) and after 2045 all the models break down as we will be advancing so fast. So honestly its impossible really know what life will be like other then we will be trillions of times more advanced and advancing at a rate that no one alive today could even comprehend.
So I am quite curious about what will life look like in the 2050s decade? How advanced will we and how high tech will we have become by then?
It will look like whatever you want it to look like. Virtual Reality would be the New Reality.
