2020

2020 (MMXX) is the current year, and is a leap year starting on Wednesday of the
Gregorian calendar, the 2020th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD)
designations, the 20th year of the 3rd millennium, the 20th year of the 21st
century, and the 1st year of the 2020s decade.
2020 has been a highly disruptive year heavily defined by the COVID-19 pandemic,
which has led to global social and economic disruption, mass cancellations and
postponements of events, worldwide lockdowns and subsequent protests, and the
largest economic recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s.[1] Geospatial
World also called it "the worst year in terms of climate change" in part due to
major climate disasters worldwide, including major wildfires in Australia and the
western United States, as well as extreme tropical cyclone activity affecting large
parts of North America and the United States.[2] A United Nations progress report
published in December 2020 indicated that none of the international Sustainable
Development Goals for 2020 were achieved.[3]
2020 was declared the "International Year of Plant Health" by the United Nations[4]
and "Year of the Nurse and Midwife" by the World Health Organization.[5]
