National Emergency Briefing

Attended the National Emergency Briefing screening at Ghost at the Feast in Chichester. Brilliant to engage in honest conversations about the climate crisis alongside Jessica Brown-Fuller MP, UKHarvest and Sanctuary in Chichester. Feels like something more people should see.

Tens of thousands of people around the UK are coming together and hosting screenings of the People's Emergency Briefing film, presented by Chris Packham, in a bid to catalyse a societal tipping point towards genuine emergency action on the climate & nature crisis. If you're thinking about getting involved, the time is now. If we act with urgency, there are so many benefits to be gained. We provide full support and guidance, and people who host screenings report hugely positive experiences.

Our thanks to councillors at Forest of Dean District Council for passing a motion of support for the call for government to hold an emergency briefing for the nation on the climate & nature crisis. The motion was in 5 parts: 🔶 To publicly support the National Emergency Briefing initiative’s call for a live, televised emergency briefing hosted by the PM and the UK’s Chief Scientific Advisor and delivered by independent experts. 🔶 Inform local residents including via Forest of Dean District Council’s social media channels and local press and media, of this decision; 🔶 Make council-operated venues available for community screenings of, and discussions around, the People’s Emergency Briefing. 🔶 Write to Matt Bishop MP to inform him that this motion has been passed and urge him to sign up to support the Parliamentary Call for a live, televised emergency briefing. 🔶 Write to the National Emergency Briefing team expressing Forest of Dean District Council’s support (councils@nebriefing.org). https://lnkd.in/eZDURGRG Find out if your MP supports levelling with the public to help build resilience and spur the nation into action. https://lnkd.in/eF5-MdUQ To find a screening of the film near you: https://lnkd.in/eh2YpVsr It's #TimeToStepUp #NationalEmergencyBriefing

💷 What does a “breathing space” budget actually mean? Surely it must be giving people help with the basics. Well, sadly, yesterday’s budget left some serious gaps. 🌍 So what did John Healey's first budget actually mean for climate and nature? 👉 Read our response in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/e4tpkFzb

“Why isn’t this mandatory training?” It’s a question we hear again and again after workplace screenings of the People’s Emergency Briefing. And I think I know why. For many people in the room, it’s the first time they have truly felt what the climate and nature crisis means, despite years of compliance forms and reports. As COP31 approaches, that feeling is exactly what seems to be missing. UNEP’s new Emissions Gap Report, The Point of Return, is stark: holding warming to 1.5°C without overshoot is no longer possible. To keep the overshoot low and brief, emissions must fall 18% by 2030 and 45% by 2035. Even if every national pledge were delivered in full, we would cut just 5–8% and 11–15%. The policies actually in place point towards 2.8°C this century, and rising. We are not short of good intentions. I meet brilliant, caring leaders every week. Yet the system they work within still rewards the extractive and the short-term. It keeps most of us doing what we have always done, concentrating wealth, deepening inequality, hollowing out nature and quietly mortgaging our children’s future. Oxfam calculates that the richest 1% had used up their fair share of carbon for 2026 by 10th January. So what will it take? It's quite clear that it isn’t a lack of data. If anything, we are drowning in it: UK SRS, TCFD, SECR, CSRD, TNFD, SBTi, CDP, GRI, ISO 14001, B Corp, EcoVadis...and on it goes; a minefield of measurement. And still nothing really changes, not at the speed and scale this moment demands. Because knowing is not the same as feeling. In 48 calm, clear minutes, the People's Emergency Briefing workplace screening brings leading UK scientists, health professionals and experts together to show what the crisis means for our food, health, economy and security. And the screening is catalysing change. A recent independent evaluation by the CAST centre, matching viewers before and after the screening, found the share expecting major disruption now or within a decade rose from 75% to 89%. 89% felt better informed; 87% more motivated to act. In workplaces, that feeling is becoming action. Of the hosts who have told us what happened next: → 79% report ongoing conversations between colleagues → 36% have taken it to senior leaders or the Board → 26% are weaving climate and nature more fully into strategy → 21% have engaged an MP or policymaker More than 5,600 screenings have now taken place or planned, over 1,300 of them in workplaces. If you have ever thought, “People in my organisation need to see this,” join our free online preview and guidance session on Tuesday 10th November, 12.30–1.30pm. Watch a specially abridged 30-minute version of the film, then learn how to host your own.
