Sharan Yadav R I believe we should use comma after the phrase "Over the last century". A comma is optional, but it needs other revisions: Over the last century the pace of change in our lives has accelerated .

It is not a clause. A clause includes a subject and a verb.

Over the last century - prepositional phrase acting as sentence adverbial
the pace of change in our lives - subject
pace - simple subject
of change, in our lives - prepositional phrases acting as post-modifiers of 'pace' and 'change' respectively
has accelerated - verb
