Climate Clock – EDEX
The idea behind a climate clock is to convey a message to the Sri Lankan public in order to make a sense of urgency and the need for immediate action to address climate change.

These clocks often highlight key metrics such as carbon dioxide levels, temperature increases, or other critical environmental indicators.
KNOW THE NUMBERS
We are in a Climate Emergency, but there is still time to avert disaster if we take bold, immediate action at the speed and scale necessary – beyond what politicians have deemed politically possible. The next ~7 years is humanity’s best window to enact bold, transformational changes in our global economy to avoid raising global temperature above 1.5ºC, a point of no return that science tells us is likely to make the worst climate impacts inevitable.
The Deadline and Lifeline on the Climate Clock tell us what we need to do, by when. They are arguably the most important numbers in the world. It’s worth understanding why.
INSTALL IN EVERY CITY
We offer the #ClimateClock to the worldwide climate movement as an internationally coordinated, participatory project.* We encourage you to erect an iconic climate clock in your own locale — joining Berlin, New York, Seoul, Rome and Glasgow. These climate clocks are drawing the world’s attention to the urgency for action. But if our species is to survive, we need a constant, public reminder of our climate Deadline (and solution Lifelines) — everywhere!
