Recent observational data from the Global Carbon Project and ongoing 2026 stocktakes show global CO₂ emissions holding near the 42 GtCO₂ annual rate used in the Climate Clock’s Mercator Research Institute calculation, which anchors the 1.5°C carbon budget to the IPCC AR6 Working Group I estimate. This stability, combined with the clock’s annual or less frequent update cadence tied to authoritative revisions rather than short-term fluctuations, underpins the 90.5% market-implied probability that the July 22, 2029 deadline remains unchanged through December 31, 2026. A new IPCC assessment or substantial shift in the remaining budget could alter the date, yet no such release is scheduled before late 2026, and current trajectories lack the abrupt mitigation surge or acceleration needed to trigger an immediate recalculation.

Each market asks whether the “Deadline” to limit global warming to 1.5°C shown by the Climate Clock (https://climateclock.world) will change before that market's listed date.
A market resolves to “Yes” if, at any point on or before its listed date, 11:59 PM ET, the Climate Clock's published 1.5°C Deadline is more than 30 days earlier or more than 30 days later than July 22, 2029. Otherwise, that market resolves to “No”.
The Climate Clock's 1.5°C Deadline is published as a machine-readable timestamp in its public data feed at https://api.climateclock.world/v2/clock.json (the “timestamp” value of the carbon-deadline module), which is the same target the on-site countdown at https://climateclock.world displays. As of this market's creation, that Deadline is July 22, 2029 (timestamp 2029-07-22T16:00:00+00:00). The ordinary second-by-second ticking of the countdown toward the Deadline does not constitute a change; only a change to the published Deadline date itself qualifies.
Because a qualifying change is permanent once published, every market with a listed date on or after the change will resolve “Yes”, and markets whose listed date has already passed without a qualifying change will have resolved “No”. If the Climate Clock and its public data feed both become permanently unavailable before a qualifying change is published, all unresolved markets will resolve to “No”.Recent observational data from the Global Carbon Project and ongoing 2026 stocktakes show global CO₂ emissions holding near the 42 GtCO₂ annual rate used in the Climate Clock’s Mercator Research Institute calculation, which anchors the 1.5°C carbon budget to the IPCC AR6 Working Group I estimate.
