Climate Clock: time left to keep within 1.5C #ActInTime

The climate clock is powered by scientists, artists, educators, and activists across the world. It indicates the time left to limit global warming to 1.5C. As of 2024, the current level of warming stands at 1.2C increase above pre-industrial levels. This may seem modest but the world is already experiencing record-breaking wildfires across continents and catastrophic floods threaten to submerge major cities.

Temperature change in Brighton since 1850 to 2023

The ‘warming stripe’ graphic is a visual representation of the change in temperature as measured in Brighton from 1850 to 2023. Each stripe or bar represents the temperature in Brighton averaged over a year. Climate change will have multiple impacts on Brighton and surrounding area from sea level rise and surface water flooding to declining agricultural productivity and species extinction (See BH Climate Adaption Plan). Data source (warming stripes): UK Met Office, creator Ed Hawkins, University of Reading.

UK Priority Species: 65% decline between 1970-2019

Biodiversity is essential for the processes that support all life on Earth, including humans. Without a wide range of animals, plants and microorganisms, we cannot have the healthy ecosystems that we rely on to provide us with the air we breathe and the food we eat. There are 940 priority species recognised in England alone. The biodiversity stripe bar marks a 65% decline in priority species between 1970-2019. This is for the whole of the UK, not just England.
