# The Climate & Ecological Emergency

##### The science is clear: we face an unprecedented global climate and ecological emergency.

The effects of this emergency include **floods, wildfires, extreme weather, mass loss of wildlife, crop failure and the mass displacement of people and loss of life.** This is not a distant prospect - these effects are being suffered right now, and will continue to be disproportionately suffered, by those who have done the very least to cause the crisis. 

But we are not helpless in the face of this unfolding disaster. **We can choose to act!**

This 50 minute video, in two parts, explains what is happening and what we can do about it.
