Climate Clock

Understanding the Climate Clock

The Climate Clock shows how much time we have left to take decisive action to keep global warming below 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels – the critical threshold identified by climate scientists to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change.

This countdown timer represents the urgency of climate action based on scientific research and global climate data. The deadline of July 21, 2029 at noon Eastern Time marks the critical point by which we must achieve significant progress toward net-zero emissions to limit warming to 1.5°C.
