3rd millennium
The third millennium (so called because it is the third period of 1000 years in the Common Era) is a period of time which began on 1 January 2001 and will end on 31 December 3000. As the millennium currently in progress, only its first decade, the 2000s, can be the subject of the historian's attention, the remaining part of the 21st century (such as the predicted stagnation of world population at some 10 billion in the 2050s) and longer-term trends being the province of futures studies.
