Portal:2020s
The 2020s Portal The 2020s (pronounced "twenty-twenties" or "two thousand [and] twenties"; shortened to "the '20s" and also known as "The Twenties") is the current decade that began on 1 January 2020, and will end on 31 December 2029. The COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath marked the early 2020s. The first reports of the virus were published on 31 December 2019, though the first cases are said to have appeared nearly a month earlier. The pandemic led to a global economic recession, sustained rise in global inflation, and supply chain crisis. The World Health Organization declared the virus a global state of emergency. With multiple extreme weather events and ecological crises continuing to escalate, several world leaders have called the 2020s the "decisive decade" for climate action. The years 2023 and 2024 both broke yearly global temperature records, with 2024 breaching 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels, which had been seen as a maximum threshold to prevent significantly negative human impacts on Earth's climate system. Widespread democratic backsliding continued and many countries governance shifted from liberal democracy and towards authoritarianism. Ethnic nationalist and other forms of authoritarian tendencies became prominent throughout Europe, Russia, Israel, and the United States. Far-right parties and movements entered mainstream Western politics for the first time since the conclusion of World War II, and national conservative and right-wing populist leaders maintained or returned to power, such as Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Vladimir Putin. Anti-government demonstrations and revolts occurred, including the “Asian Spring” (Hong Kong, India, Iran, Bangladesh, Mongolia, Thailand, Japan, Sri Lanka, South Korea, and Nepal). Protests against responses to COVID-19, against racism and police brutality, and against various forms of governmental jurisdiction, corruption, and authoritarianism occurred; along with citizen riots in the United States and Brazil attempting to overturn election results seen by supporters as stolen have occurred throughout. Among democracies in 2024, its elections saw 80% of incumbent parties lose support worldwide, as with the 2024 United States presidential election. In 2025, Trump triggered a global trade war, marking an end to neoliberalism. (Full article...) The time allocated for running scripts has expired. The time allocated for running scripts has expired.
