The Climate Briefing Britain Can’t Ignore
On 27 November, the National Emergency Briefing on Climate & Nature took place at Central Hall Westminster, bringing together leading experts from climate science, national security, energy, food systems, health, and the economy. Their mission was to deliver a stark, science-led wake up call to politicians, business leaders, and the media of the accelerating threats facing the UK.
The message left the room in no doubt: Britain isn’t ready for what’s coming.
Naturalist and broadcaster Chris Packham opened the event with a stark warning:
This beautiful little blue planet is where we will either learn to live in harmony with the environment or we will destroy ourselves and much of other life, too.
