present-day

Modern times, now

Present-day is an adjective meaning existing or occurring now, in the current time period.

It typically modifies nouns to distinguish contemporary versions from historical ones: present-day London versus Victorian London, or present-day technology compared to what existed decades ago.

The hyphen is standard when used before a noun but often dropped in predicative position: the challenges are present day.
