None.

Metric measures are most widespread but there are plenty of hold-outs. Different places use different general measures, no particular units are used everywhere ("globally").

The US is still using Imperial measures (feet, inches, cups, ounces, fluid ounces) and making no effort to switch over, while Canada and the UK are gradually switching to metric (grams, kilos, liters, etc.). Most of Europe is metric.

The US will likely be the very last country to abandon the Imperial system.
