The new film from the National Emergency Briefing – a public information initiative to ensure the UK is fully briefed on the climate and nature crisis – has now been released.

Along with our screening of it as part of the Uttlesford Big Green Festival on the 11th June at the town hall, there is now a map of screenings open to the public across the country, so if you can’t make it on the 11th, or you have friends/family in other areas of the country, you can find many alternative screenings (or potentially even host one as Great Dunmow are doing).

This really matters because climate and nature breakdown will affect every constituency in the country, from health and food systems to infrastructure, security to economic stability. This crisis is more serious and immediate than many understand. There is strong evidence that bold, urgent action will improve lives and livelihoods, but the window of opportunity is narrowing as we delay.

The 50-minute film will combine authoritative scientific content from the original Westminster event with reactions from members of the public and some more familiar faces – designed to help audiences process the information on a more human level. It will deliver the frank facts about the threats, but also the enormous benefits if Government leads genuine emergency action.

Many of those attending the event commented that although the facts are alarming, they felt a sense of optimism about confronting the challenge together and seeing a pathway to a better future. View testimonials.
