National Emergency Briefing @nebriefing.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
The Climate Change Committee projects that average spending to reach net zero, net of savings, will be just £4 billion. Many people ask how it can be so cheap, for such a big transition. Here's why, with thanks to @westcountryvoices.bsky.social for publishing our explainer.

Climate Change is happening now, all around us, yet few of us know what it means for our lives, economy and future. Hosted by Chris Packham, this film features UK experts in climate science, food security, health, economics, national security and nature - and is an urgent call for united action.

There's no place in a climate emergency for expanding one of the UK’s biggest polluters. A third runway at Heathrow would benefit a tiny minority (wealthy frequent flyers) at huge cost to the environment and local community. The Government can and must put a stop to this now.
Carla and Siân Berry look angry standing in front of an electronic sign that reads "Arriving soon from Heathrow's new third runway - Irreversible climate breakdown." to their right is a person in a high vis jacket holding a no fly sign. Image shows a large group of people holding banners, signs and red ribbon to demonstrate the red line on Heathrow expansion. The picture is very colourful.
