Here in Braunschweig, we are committed to climate protection measures for the prevention of devastating climate consequences. The Climate Countdown makes it clear how little time is left to prevent global warming from exceeding 1.5 degrees. In addition, the countdown is a constant reminder for TU Braunschweig and its members, as well as for all other Braunschweig citizens, to act against climate change daily.
"Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. With the ClimateCrisisClock, we want to raise awareness of the urgency with which we must act to curb the negative effects of climate change. We hope that the Climate Clock will inspire students and staff at our university, as well as the wider public, to take action and find solutions that will provide a more sustainable future."
- President of TU Braunschweig, Angela Ittel.
