on the climate and nature crisis
The Westminster Briefing
Last November, ten of the UK’s leading experts briefed an invited audience of over 1,200 politicians and leaders from business, culture, faith, sport and the media.
The briefing set out the implications of climate and nature breakdown for health, food systems, national security and the economy.
Taking it nationwide
Taking the evidence beyond Westminster
A full documentary from the briefing is now in production. It will bring the science and national implications together in one compelling film. It will be available for community screenings across the UK from 7th April.
The film is designed for communities to watch together with their MP and other local decision makers - to see the same evidence - on the record - as those briefed in Westminster.
“It was shocking, but it also showed a way forward. With immediate policy action we can still avoid the worst. The window is small, but it exists.”

“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."

“We face a climate emergency. MPs need to be awake to the risks and ready for action, which is why I ask them to prioritise attending a local screening of the People's Emergency Briefing film."

"I urge all policymakers to engage with this critically important scientific advice. I’d like to see a National Emergency Briefing in every country."
