The early 2020s refers to the initial years of the third decade of the 21st century, generally encompassing the period from 2020 to approximately 2023. This era has been significantly shaped by a confluence of global events and evolving societal trends. A defining characteristic of this period was the widespread impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which profoundly altered daily life, economies, and international relations. Public health measures, widespread vaccination campaigns, and shifts towards remote work and digital interaction became prominent features.

Technological advancements continued their rapid trajectory, with increased integration of artificial intelligence, advancements in renewable energy, and the ongoing expansion of digital infrastructure. Socially, the early 2020s saw heightened awareness and discourse surrounding issues of social justice, climate change, and political polarization in many parts of the world.
