We Need Systemic Solutions
To tackle the climate emergency we need more than recycling or individual behavior changes. We need big, bold, systemic solutions like Renewable Energy and Regenerative Agriculture, that require us to act together.
The Climate Clock tracks humanity's progress on nine of these systemic solutions, which we call Lifelines.

Action Creates Hope
These solutions won’t just happen on their own; we need to fight for them. These Lifelines are not just numbers on a clock; they are people-powered campaigns in the real world.
The Climate Clock partners with groups actively fighting for these solutions. In their hands, the clock becomes a powerful tool to pressure decision-makers to enact new policies. Join in!
