2021 Environmental Doomsday Clock

Every year, the Korea Green Foundation announces the crisis of continuance of the human race due to environmental pollution by continents and countries with the time expressed on the hands of the Environmental Doomsday Clock. We are cooperating with artists, companies, and citizens to help more people recognize environmental problems as an urgent issue which is directly related to our lives.

Korea Green Foundation has been conducting researches for ‘Environmental Doomsday Clock’ and announced the results since 2005 with Asahi Glass Foundation of Japan.
Environmental Doomsday Clock is a symbolic clock face, representing a countdown to a crisis of environmental destruction. The hour from 0~3 means ‘barely concerned’, 3~6 means ‘slightly concerned’, 6~9 means ‘fairly concerned’, and 9~12 means ‘extremely concerned’.
Environmental Doomsday Clock is measured based on the surveys conducted by the governments, research centers and civic groups around the world. The world average time on the Environmental Doomsday Clock is now 9:42, while the hand of the Korean Environmental Doomsday Clock points 9:38.
