This briefing has been commissioned to report the latest evidence, clarify what is at stake, and outline actionable solutions.

Are we prepared?

“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."
