Climate Time Travel

Immerse yourself. Gain insight. Experience. Act.

A glimpse into the future.

In Climate Time Machine, experience a personal journey that focuses on you - discover how your lifestyle and choices impact you and society.
First, provide some information about your lifestyle, from mobility and heating to diet and consumption. If you are missing details, we can help you out with convenient estimates and average values.
Our system then calculates your individual CO₂ footprint, but Climate Time Machine goes far beyond traditional CO₂ calculators. In the simulation, your decisions represent those of many other people.
The emissions changes of all participants are globally projected, and scientific models provide realistic climate developments.
Based on these calculations, we will show you how your living environment could change over time. Experience trees dying or thriving, drying rivers or flooding. Recognize how the temperature is developing in your region and which cities are at risk of flooding. Discover how many hot nights are ahead and what impact this will have on crop yields.
