National
Emergency
Briefing
on the climate and nature crisis
All talks to be published soon
These briefings are the clearest, most up-to-date picture of the climate and nature crisis in Britain. For the first time, the UK’s top experts give one integrated, unfiltered account of the risks and the solutions. This is the baseline the national conversation must now start from. Every policymaker needs to see it.
The talks will be available on our YouTube channel in the coming days. Subscribe for immediate updates as each one goes live.
Expert Briefings
Experts provided attendees with the latest assessments across all dimensions of the crisis, from food security to national security, and outline science-based pathways forward.
Subject matter experts
Specialists in fields including national security, energy, food security, health, extreme weather and economics will each deliver a focused 10-minute briefing.
Are we prepared?
Is the government adequately prepared, and are they adequately protecting the public given the range and severity of potential impacts?
Are we meeting the moment?
This crisis requires a reaction on the scale of any historical emergency. Is Parliament fully briefed and therefore able to hold the Executive to account?
Pathways forward
Frank and up-to-date assessments including potential ways forward to protect our families and communities and preserve our national prosperity

“The National Emergency Briefing could not be more timely. The science is moving fast, and every year the risks become clearer. Britain has led before, and we must lead again - not with words, but with action to protect our people, our prosperity and our children’s future. But first, all policymakers must ensure they are fully informed."
Former Chair, UK Climate Change Committee - 2012 to 2023
Prof Joanna Haigh CBE
“We face a climate emergency. MPs need to be awake to the risks and ready for action, which is why I ask them to prioritise attending the National Emergency Briefing."
Former president of the Royal Meteorological Society, professor of atmospheric physics and head of physics at Imperial College London
