The National Emergency Briefing
A briefing for MPs and public figures took place in Westminster on 27 November 2025. It brought together recognised experts to explain how climate and nature risks are expected to affect the UK, and what actions could reduce those risks. It covered climate breakdown, biodiversity, food security, economy, national security, green transition, tipping points. It was a stunning achievement and needs to be shared as widely as possible.
A new film, the People’s Emergency Briefing has already shown twice in Emsworth and there are other screenings booked in Cowplain, Emsworth, Westbourne and the Stride Centre in Denvilles
