Basicly scientists from around the world take into account the enviroment, wars, nuclear armaments, and world politics crunch some numbers and guesstimate how close we are to end of the world at any given moment.
So as of right now at any given moment we are potentially 90 seconds away from us obliterating ourself ( doesnât always have to be nukes, could be an environmental catastrophe)
Listen to Iron Maidenâs â2 Minutes to Midnightâ to get an idea

Itâs nukes. An environmental catastrophe doesnât happen at those timescales :D

The doomsday clock is symbolic with the minutes (or seconds) to midnight symbolizing how close we are to doomsday. Traditionally, that has meant nuclear war, but I believe more recently, theyâve factored in climate change

Feel free to correct if Iâm wrong, but my understanding is basically an attempt at accounting for all civilization-collapsing-level catastrophic event. Maybe not global, but massive-scale
