The film features footage from last November’s National Emergency Briefing, which brought together leading UK experts in climate science, food security, health, economics, national security and nature.

It presents a clear, measured overview of how the climate and nature crisis is affecting everyday life in Britain, and what the evidence says about risks and responses. The initiative is explicitly non-partisan and is supported by a wide range of organisations including National Trust, Church of England, Exeter University, the Royal Meteorological Society, WWF, National Education Union, and many more.

These issues increasingly affect our wildlife and the ecosystems they rely on and are also impacting all of our lives, with the impacts set to increase going forward.

The purpose of the Briefing is to ensure that public institutions, businesses and communities share a common understanding of the scale and urgency of the challenge - and the opportunities that flow from responding at pace.

Following the 45-minute film, we will host a 45-minute structured local discussion focused on what this means for businesses in our area - including resilience, competitiveness and forward planning.
