The main thing we want politicians to do, linked to showings of the film, is to support the Climate & Nature Bill which is being promoted by Zero Hour. The Climate and Nature Bill is a plan for a new UK law that addresses the full extent of the climate and nature crisis in line with the most up-to-date science.
The Bill is the only proposed legislation before the UK Parliament that ensures a comprehensive and joined-up approach to the climate emergency and nature crisis.
We’re also asked to contact our MPs to call for national televised screenings of the People’s Emergency Briefing film You can take action here
