Calendar year
2024 (MMXXIV) is the current year, and is a leap year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2024th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 24th year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 5th year of the 2020s decade.
Calendar year
So far, this year has seen the continuation of major armed conflicts, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Myanmar civil war, the Sudanese civil war, and the Islamist insurgency in the Sahel. The ongoing Israel–Hamas war has also led to spillover into numerous countries, among the most prominent being a rise in activity by the Houthi movement which has contributed to a crisis in the Red Sea that has impacted global shipping, as well as protests against the war mostly concentrated at college campuses.[1][2][3]
Approximately 79 countries, representing around four billion people, are expected to conduct national elections throughout the course of the year,[4][5][6][7] including eight out of ten of the world's most populous countries (Bangladesh, Brazil, Pakistan, Russia, India, Mexico, Indonesia, the United States)[4] as well as France and the United Kingdom.[8] The European Parliament also held elections.[9]
