This is a very broad question. Are you asking what the time zone is for that string or what time zones are in general? – ssube Apr 15 '15 at 15:34

2That is `GMT+00:00` or `UTC+00:00`. There is no difference in both. – Ismael Miguel Apr 15 '15 at 15:35

+0000 is GMT/UTC. Given the date, that's a valid date/time in the GMT timezone (UK, at least part of Portugal, parts of Africa, ...).
And how can I get the current time in this time zone in javascript?
I'm not quite sure what you're asking here. You can get the current time in UTC like this:
var dt = new Date();
console.log(dt.toISOString());

Actually, it's only valid in the UK for part of the year - when BST is not in effect. Thats why +0000 is usually considered just a "time zone offset", and not a "time zone". :) – Matt Johnson-Pint Apr 16 '15 at 02:04

@MattJohnson: That's why I said "***Given the date**, that's a valid date/time in the GMT timezone..."* – T.J. Crowder Apr 16 '15 at 06:46
