The Climate and Nature Emergency
If you'd like to learn more about the science and what we're all facing, join one of our flagship talks, made by Scientists for XR, called Heading For Extinction (and what to do about it). You can join a live talk on Zoom or watch a recording on our youtube channel -

Or you can watch a recent shorter version in two parts on our website:
- Part 1 Heading for Extinction [HfE] (and what to do about it)

Also on our website you will find a very detailed and readable book called Emergency on Planet Earth - written by Dr Emily Grossman alongside other Scientists for XR.
It's recommended that new XR members learn about nonviolent direct action [NVDA], their protest rights and the science driving the climate emergency.
