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”.Trader consensus on a stable Climate Clock 1.5°C deadline through 2026 stems primarily from the infrequent cadence of authoritative revisions to the underlying remaining carbon budget, calculated by the Mercator Research Institute using the IPCC AR6 estimate of roughly 400 GtCO₂ from 2020 for a 67% chance of limiting warming. Recent Global Carbon Project data and 2026 stocktakes show continued annual emissions near the assumed 42 GtCO₂ rate, with no abrupt shifts sufficient to trigger a recalculation exceeding the market’s 30-day threshold before year-end. While new observational trends or model runs could alter the timeline, no major IPCC assessment or equivalent update is scheduled before late 2026, reinforcing the 90.5% implied probability of “No.”
