The 2000s is the decade that started on January 1, 2000 and will end on December 31, 2009. It is the current decade.
The decade has been dominated by several wide-ranging topics, including international trade and a growing concern over energy supplies; the explosion in telecommunications and data communications; the ecological crisis; a widespread economic failure in the last quarter of the decade; further integration and dependence on technology; concerns with international terrorism and war; natural disasters, including the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami; an escalation of the social issues of the 1990s, and the debate over how to address global warming.
