Before it's too late

Question

Please can someone translate this phrase?

For instance "We need to tackle climate change before it's too late"

I have a feeling it may need the subjunctive somewhere but im not sure

My guess would be "antes de que es demasiado tarde" but, like I said, it could need the subjunctive, or it could be idiomatic... perhaps "antes de que sea demasiado tarde"?

well done, harry, you almost got it right, and you were right in assuming it had to be subjunctive, way to go! - 00494d19, Nov 12, 2010

Hi Harry, would you like to give your own attempt first?

That is the only way to learn
