In November 2025, the National Emergency Briefing brought together leading experts to present the latest evidence on the climate and nature crisis to politicians and other influential people in Westminster. That evidence is now on the public record. Since April , thousands of communities have watched this 50-minute film which combines authoritative scientific content from that event with reactions from members of the public and some more familiar faces, to help us process the information on a more human level. Although the facts are alarming, many that have seen the film say that they felt a sense of optimism about confronting the challenge together and seeing a better future.
Please book your tickets here (bookings open soon) Choose from:
