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 ( doesn’t always have to be nukes, could be an environmental catastrophe)
Listen to Iron Maiden’s “2 Minutes to Midnight” to get an idea

It’s nukes. An environmental catastrophe doesn’t 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, they’ve factored in climate change

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