A brief overview of our current understanding of abundance and properties of
dark energy and dark matter is presented. A more focused discussion of
supersymmetric dark matter follows. Included is a frequentist approach to the
supersymmetric parameter space and consequences for the direct detection of
dark matter.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figures, Summary of talk given at the XXIV International
