Business NOT as usual : People’s Emergency Briefing

The film looks at what climate and nature crises mean for food, health, economic stability, and everyday life in the UK.

Join us for a screening of The People’s Emergency Briefing, a short film presented by Chris Packham that brings together leading UK experts to set out the latest evidence on the climate and nature crises. The film looks at what these changes mean for food, health, economic stability, and everyday life in the UK.

The climate and nature crisis threatens all aspects of British life, from national security to the food supply. Solutions exist but we need a rapid, WW2-scale response, and for the government to act now to build the solutions needed.

The National Emergency Briefing (“NEB”) was commissioned in response to a simple but profound democratic principle: people should be trusted with the truth about major risks that affect their lives.

We will be joined by Hayley Fowler, Profesor of Climate Change Impacts at Newcastle University, who was one of ten UK’s leading experts who briefed an invited audience of more than 1,200 politicians and leaders from business, culture, faith, sport and the media in Westminster in November 2025.

Please come and watch the film and make up your own mind about whether action on the climate and nature crises is needed.
