About the climate clock
We are in a climate emergency. There is still time to avert disaster if we take bold and immediate action at the speed and scale necessary. Our best window to do this is in the next seven years. We all need to make changes to avoid raising global temperatures by another 1.5ºC. If we don't, we will be at a point of no return. Scientists say we will experience the worst effects on the climate we have ever seen.
The deadline and lifeline on the climate clock tell us what we need to do, by when. They are the most important numbers in the world. .
