Welcome
Thank you for being here. This film brings together leading evidence on the dimate and nature crisis, and what it means for the UK. It is designed to be watched together in communities like this one, creating space for honest conversation and constructive civic engagement.
Across the UK, people are now coming together to ensure these risks are property understood, openly discussed, and responded to with the seriousness they require.
A growing national effort
The National Emergency Briefing is building support for a government-backed televised emergency briefing to the nation on the climate and nature crisis.
The initative began at Westminster Central Hall, where more than 1,200 MPs, peers and leaders from across UK society heard directly from senior experts about the scale of the risks facing the UK and the response now required.
This film extends that work into communities and businesses across the country, where people are now inviting MPs to screenings, calling for politicians to support a Parliamentary Call for a televised briefing, and helping bring the film to new audiences.
What you can do next

A third runway for Heathrow in the face of a climate emergency? The Government's own climate advisors say no! Ministers must withdraw support for this reckless plan that only benefits wealthy airport bosses, and support the buses and trains we use every day instead.
Image is of Green MPs Carla Denyer and Sian Berry, with Green Peer Jenny Jones and a campaigner from No 3rd Runway Coalition. They are stood in front of a digital van which reads: FINAL CALL: Andy Burnham. PROTECT OUR ECONOMY. Say NO to Heathrow's Third Runway.

One of the most valuable ways to support pollinators and other invertebrates is to provide them with the shelter they need to survive the winter. Thankfully, all you need to do is do less yard work.
