In [[contemporary history]], the '''third millennium''' of the [[anno Domini]] or [[Common Era]] in the [[Gregorian calendar]] is the current [[millennium]] spanning the years 2001 to 3000 ([[21st century|21st]] to [[30th century|30th]] centuries). Ongoing [[futures studies]] seek to understand what is likely to continue and what could plausibly change in the course of this period and beyond.
In [[contemporary history]], the '''third millennium''' is the current [[millennium]] in the ''[[Anno Domini]]'' or [[Common Era]], under the [[Gregorian calendar]]. It began on 1 January 2001 ([[Roman numerals|MMI]])<!-- 2001 is correct due to there not being any zeroth year in the AD system (in addition, see MOS:CENTURY) --> and will end on 31 December 3000 ([[Roman numerals|MMM]]), spanning the [[21st century|21st]] to [[30th century|30th]] centuries.


Ongoing [[futures studies]] seek to understand what will likely continue and what could plausibly change in this period and beyond.

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

In contemporary history, the third millennium is the current millennium in the Anno Domini or Common Era, under the Gregorian calendar. It began on 1 January 2001 (MMI) and will end on 31 December 3000 (MMM), spanning the 21st to 30th centuries.

Ongoing futures studies seek to understand what will likely continue and what could plausibly change in this period and beyond.
