The Doomsday Clock is a metaphor for how dangerous this moment in human history is - and the urgent need to get involved. We want to hear about the actions that inspire you and how we can work together to save the world.
Since 1947, the Clock has been a symbol for how close humanity is to destroying itself with nuclear weapons, climate change, and disruptive technologies.
Our belief is that because humans created these problems, we have the obligation and opportunity to fix them. So, we're asking people to share their ideas about what can be done to turn back the Clock.
Challenge submissions can share:
- Positive actions that inspire you
- People or groups who are making a difference
- How you and your community are helping to make the world safer
Share your challenge submissions in whatever format you communicate best, whether that's through art, writing, videos, or song.
To join the challenge, simply share your ideas to Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, or TikTok with the hashtag #TurnBackTheClock.

@msichicago The @bulletinatomic announced the Doomsday Clock is 90 seconds to midnight, the closest it’s ever been. The Clock symbolizes our world’s vulnerability to humanmade threats like climate change, nuclear threats and disruptive technologies. It is more important than ever that we work together to #TurnBackTheClock ♬ Science / Science / Education(912846) - dama
It is now 90 seconds to midnight.
The world has never been closer to the brink making it more important than ever that we work together to reduce global nuclear and biological threats to #TurnBackTheClock.

But the @BulletinAtomic's #DoomsdayClock can be turned back. The minute hand has moved away from midnight eight times in the last 75 years. So let's try to move it back again! #TurnBackTheClock.

It seems fitting that the Doomsday Clock announcement took place on #EducationDay. Now is the time to remind everyone of the devastating humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons & universalize the norms of #nuclearban!
With collective action WE can turn back the clock.🕚 https://t.co/WOq8JvT7Jx

An often-forgotten aspect of the #DoomsdayClock is that it can be turned back. The minute hand has actually moved away from midnight eight times in the last 75 years. Let’s try to move it back again. #TurnBackTheClock. https://t.co/rTvN3ML9iM

The #DoomsDayClock is at only 90 seconds to midnight due largely to the threat of nuclear weapons but we are trying to #TurnBackTheClock by engaging & informing the physical science community on this threat.
