National Emergency Briefing
On 27th November 2025, at the National Emergency Briefing (NEB), ten UK leading experts briefed an invited audience of over 1,200 politicians and leaders from business, culture, faith, sport and the media with the latest climate related implications for health, food, national security and the economy.
The live event has been edited into a short film due to be released on 7 April 2026 for national TV and UK-wide local screenings.
