A recent report from a leading international scientific body has issued a stark warning: global temperatures could surge in the coming years, potentially exceeding a critical threshold set to combat climate change. This potential “fever spike” could trigger a domino effect of extreme weather events, threatening ecosystems and communities worldwide. However, the report is not a death knell. It’s a call to action, urging innovation, international cooperation, and a global shift towards sustainability. From classrooms fostering environmental awareness to businesses embracing clean practices, the fight against climate change requires a collective effort. The choice is ours: succumb to the heat or race for climate solutions.

The Climate Clock serves as a vivid reminder of the urgency in combating climate change. It ticks down the time we have left to prevent global temperatures from rising by 1.5 degrees Celsius—a critical threshold according to the 2015 Paris Agreement, which aims to cap warming well below 2°C, and ideally at 1.5°C, to avert severe environmental consequences. As the clock ticks, it reminds us of the ongoing and urgent work needed to safeguard our planet for future generations. Through initiatives like these, CSIR continues to be at the forefront of India’s journey towards a more sustainable and resilient future.
