Atomic scientists have set the symbolic Doomsday clock at 89 seconds to midnight. That's one second closer to the theoretical point of destruction than last year.
The symbolic "Doomsday clock" has become a powerful representation, of how close humanity is to potential global catastrophe, with midnight symbolizing destruction.
In January 2024, the Doomsday Clock was reset at 90 seconds to midnight, the closest to midnight it has ever been.
Established in 1947 by atomic scientists, including Albert Einstein, the Doomsday Clock represents global threats like nuclear weapons and climate change. Every year, the Bulletin's Science and Security Board, including scientists, policy experts, and Nobel laureates, evaluates world events to adjust the clock’s hands.
In 2025, the "Doomsday Clock" moved closer to midnight, now setting at 89 seconds—one second closer than last year—citing rising global threats. Key factors include Russia’s nuclear risks amid the Ukraine invasion, escalating tensions in the Middle East with the Israel-Gaza conflict, military AI advancements, and the worsening climate crisis. Additional concerns include China’s military pressure on Taiwan and North Korea’s ongoing missile tests.
The Doomsday Clock remains a sobering reminder of the fragile balance of global stability and the importance of cooperative action to secure a sustainable future.
