Doomsday Clock 2025: 89 Seconds to Midnight | Nuclear War, Climate Crisis & AI Threats

The Doomsday Clock has moved forward to 89 seconds to midnight for 2025, marking the closest humanity has ever been to global catastrophe in the Clock's history. Set by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BAS), this perilous setting reflects insufficient global progress on existential risks threatening all of humanity. The primary drivers for moving the clock closer to midnight (symbolizing the end of civilization) include: • Escalating Nuclear Risk, amplified by the war in Ukraine, nuclear saber rattling, and the collapse of arms control agreements like New START. • Persistent Climate Change Impacts, as 2023 and 2024 were the hottest years on record, and governments continue to fail in enacting necessary policy initiatives. • The destabilizing proliferation of Disruptive Technologies, including the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in military systems and the risks posed by biological threats and pandemics. The BAS Science and Security Board urges political, civic, cultural, and business leaders to take bold action and engage in dialogue to reduce these threats, reminding the world that reversing course is possible
