Digital “climate clock” installed at Prague’s Letná

A large digital clock highlighting impending climate disaster has been installed by a metronome on Prague’s Letná Plain. The eight-metre high numerals of the Climate Clock show how much time remains to avert irreversible change to the Earth’s climate.

The clock was installed by the organisers of the recent Festival of Freedom, marking the anniversary of the Velvet Revolution, and will remain in place until December 12. The place where it stands was home to a large statute of Stalin during the communist era.
