Live updates from the Doomsday Clock press conference as the fate was revealed

How do we turn back the clock?

In yesterday's statement, the Bulletin of Atomic Sciences explained the steps Earth must take to turn back the Doomsday Clock.

They said: 'Everyone on Earth has a stake in reducing the risk of global catastrophe from nuclear weapons, climate change, advances in life sciences, disruptive technologies and the widespread corruption of the world's information ecosystem.

“These threats, individually and as they interact, are of such a nature and magnitude that no nation or leader can control them.”

The Bulletin called on Russia, the United States and China to work together in an effort to combat climate change, nuclear threats and disruptive technology such as AI.

They added: “At the highest level, these three countries must take responsibility for the existential danger the world now faces. They have the ability to pull the world back from the brink of catastrophe. They must do so, with clarity and courage, and without delay.”
