On 27th November, ten of the UK’s leading experts briefed an invite-only audience of around 1,250 politicians and leaders from business, culture, faith, sport and the media with the latest implications for health, food, national security and the economy. National Emergency Briefing on climate & nature
A full documentary from the briefing is now in production, expected for release in March. It will bring the science, testimonies and national implications together in one compelling film. Once released, it will be available for community screenings across the UK.
People will be able to invite their MPs and other local decision-makers to attend the screenings to make sure that they understand the crisis we face, and to add to the pressure for a televised Government emergency briefing.
“The National Emergency Briefing could not be more timely. The science is moving fast, and every year the risks become clearer. Britain has led before, and we must lead again - not with words, but with action to protect our people, our prosperity and our children’s future. But first, all policymakers must ensure they are fully informed." - Lord Deben, former chair, UK Climate Change Committee - 2012 to 2023.
The National Emergency Briefing is the result of leading experts and concerned citizens joining forces to encourage UK decision-makers to step up their response to the escalating climate and nature crisis. It is supported by a wide range of well-known organisations including:
- Royal Meteorological Society RMetS
- National Trust
- RSPB
- WWT
- Newcastle University
- Royal Society of Biology
- University of Reading
- The Climate Reality Project Europe
- British Ecological Society
