King Charles joins London mayor Sadiq Khan at launch of National Climate Clock which warns there are little more than six years left for world to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Centigrade
- King Charles and Sadiq Khan launched the National Climate Clock in London
- Clock counts down to time window by which the world must hit zero emissions
- It is the latest in a line of clocks around the world which state we have just six years left
King Charles and London Mayor Sadiq Khan have launched a National Climate Clock, which warns there are just six years left for the world to limit global warning.
The King activated the clock during the Climate Innovation Forum at the Guildhall in London today, to warn the world it has just six years and 24 days to limit the heating of the earth to 1.5 degrees centigrade.
The clock also has a built in Renewable Energy Lifeline, which shows the percent of global energy coming from renewable sources currently sits at 12.5 per cent.
This tracks factors including renewable energy sources, land and inland waters managed by Indigenous Peoples, climate debt, monies contributed by countries to the Green Climate Fund, and gender parity.
The clock is the latest in a worldwide project which brings together art, science, technology and grassroots organisation to count down to the critical time window in which the globe must reach zero emissions.

It was activated at the Climate Innovation Forum - the flagship event of London Climate Action Week
The first Climate Clock was launched in New York in September 2020 and since then more have appeared in Seoul and Glasgow to name a few.
The Climate Innovation Forum is the flagship event of London Climate Action Week, which brings together 1,500 leaders from government, business, finance, and society to encourage collaboration and innovation to meet climate goals.
It is the fifth year that the event has been run.
King Charles has long warned of the dangers of climate change.
Earlier this week, stars such as Olivia Coleman and Woody Harrelson were among well-known faces reciting the King's speeches to mark the launch of a new YouTube channel focussing on climate change.

Group-think has taken over as climatism demands total allegiance, and has become an unchallengeable doctrine guiding individuals, institutions, cultures and social movements
This dangerously myopic view simply reduces the present and future state of our complex world to just the fate of global temperature or to the concentration of carbon dioxide
It makes no sense to reduce politics to the pursuit of a single over-arching goal: to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by a given date
Hurricanes and heatwaves are seen as manifestations of the behaviour of fossil-fuel companies, colonialism, capitalism, Amazonian loggers, rich meat-eaters or frequent flyers
Risks are exaggerated and climate is elevated to be a more dominant factor shaping the future than is warranted
Ultimately, the rush to take political action without properly thinking through the consequences can backfire spectacularly
