Climate Clocks
The Climate Clock counts down the critical deadline for achieving zero emissions (referred to as our “deadline”) but also charts our progress along the vital solution paths (referred to as “lifelines”). It draws its power from a collective force of scientists, artists, educators and activists from all over the world.
The next seven years are humanity’s best pivotal window to implement bold and transformative changes within our global economy. This imperative timeframe is our best opportunity to avert the irreversible consequences of global temperatures surpassing the 1.5°C threshold—an ominous point of no return, that, according to science, would make the worst climate impacts inevitable.
By showing us what we need to do and when, the clock frames our essential mission – a rapid and equitable transition toward a secure climate future – and places it at the forefront of our attention, emphasizing the urgency of our responsibility.
