The year began with another wave in the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], with [[SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant|Omicron]] spreading rapidly and becoming the dominant variant of the [[SARS-CoV-2]] virus worldwide. Tracking a decrease in cases and deaths, 2022 saw the removal of most COVID-19 restrictions and the reopening of international borders in the vast majority of countries, while the global rollout of [[COVID-19 vaccine]]s continued. The global economic recovery from the pandemic continued, though many countries experienced an ongoing [[2021–2023 inflation surge|inflation surge]]; in response, many central banks raised their interest rates to landmark levels.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2022-12-12 |title=Investors prepare for slowing global interest rate rises |work=Financial Times |url=https://www.ft.com/content/dbc66b48-8b2f-481e-91fc-e818297f0913 |access-date=2022-12-13 |archive-date=December 13, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221213230118/https://www.ft.com/content/dbc66b48-8b2f-481e-91fc-e818297f0913 |url-status=live }}</ref> The [[world population]] reached eight billion people in 2022. The year also witnessed numerous natural disasters, including two devastating [[Atlantic hurricane]]s ([[Hurricane Fiona|Fiona]] and [[Hurricane Ian|Ian]]), and [[2021–22 Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai eruption and tsunami|the most powerful volcano eruption of the century so far]]. The later part of the year also saw the first public release of [[ChatGPT]] by [[OpenAI]] starting an [[AI boom|arms race in artificial intelligence]] which increased in intensity into 2023, as well as the [[collapse of FTX|collapse]] of the cryptocurrency exchange [[FTX]]. |

The [[United Nations]] declared 2022 as the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and [[Aquaculture]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://undocs.org/A/RES/72/72|title=International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture|website=United Nations|access-date=February 15, 2020}}</ref> International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://undocs.org/en/A/RES/76/14|title=International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development|website=United Nations|access-date=December 30, 2021}}</ref> International Year of Sustainable Mountain Development,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://undocs.org/pdf?symbol=en/A/76/L.28|title=International Year of Sustainable Mountain Development|website=United Nations|access-date=December 30, 2021}}</ref> and the International Year of [[Glass]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://undocs.org/A/RES/75/279|title=International Year of Glass|website=United Nations|access-date=July 17, 2021}}</ref> |

2022 was also dominated by wars and armed conflicts. While escalations into the [[internal conflict in Myanmar]] and the [[Tigray War]] dominated the heightening of tensions within their regions and each caused over 10,000 deaths, 2022 was most notable for the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]], the largest armed conflict in Europe since [[World War II]]. The invasion caused the [[2022 Ukrainian refugee crisis|displacement]] of 15.7 million [[Ukrainians]] (8 million [[internally displaced person]]s and 7.7 million [[refugee]]s), and led to [[International sanctions during the Russo-Ukrainian War|international condemnations and sanctions]] and [[Nuclear threats during the Russian invasion of Ukraine|nuclear threats]], the [[Corporate responses to the Russian invasion of Ukraine|withdrawal of hundreds of companies]] from [[Russia]], and the [[2022 boycott of Russia and Belarus#Sports|exclusion of Russia from major sporting events]]. |

2022 (MMXXII) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2022nd year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 22nd year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 3rd year of the 2020s decade.
The year began with another wave in the COVID-19 pandemic, with Omicron spreading rapidly and becoming the dominant variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus worldwide. Tracking a decrease in cases and deaths, 2022 saw the removal of most COVID-19 restrictions and the reopening of international borders in the vast majority of countries, while the global rollout of COVID-19 vaccines continued. The global economic recovery from the pandemic continued, though many countries experienced an ongoing inflation surge; in response, many central banks raised their interest rates to landmark levels.[1] The world population reached eight billion people in 2022. The year also witnessed numerous natural disasters, including two devastating Atlantic hurricanes (Fiona and Ian), and the most powerful volcano eruption of the century so far. The later part of the year also saw the first public release of ChatGPT by OpenAI starting an arms race in artificial intelligence which increased in intensity into 2023, as well as the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
2022 was also dominated by wars and armed conflicts. While escalations into the internal conflict in Myanmar and the Tigray War dominated the heightening of tensions within their regions and each caused over 10,000 deaths, 2022 was most notable for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II.
