Early day motion for screening the National Emergency briefing

[Mair Perkins]

Seems worth asking our MPs to back this! 

https://edm.parliament.uk/early-day-motion/65810/national-emergency-briefing

That this House notes the National Emergency Briefing held in Westminster on 27 November 2025, attended by over 1,200 leaders from politics, business, science, and civil society, which set out the escalating risks posed by climate change and nature loss; further notes the expert evidence presented that the UK faces intensifying weather extremes, with up to 1 in 4 properties at risk of flooding by 2050 and increasing heatwaves and wildfires; recognises that current global trajectories risk 3–4°C of warming, threatening systemic societal disruption and exceeding the UK’s fair share of the remaining carbon budget within years; expresses concern that the UK ranks among the lowest globally for biodiversity, with significant declines in wildlife and ecosystem health; acknowledges warnings that food security, public health, and national security are increasingly compromised by climate-related impacts, including supply shocks, economic instability, and heightened global tensions; also notes the substantial economic costs of inaction compared to the benefits of rapid transition to a low-carbon economy; and therefore calls on the Government to screen a prime-time televised emergency briefing across all the main channels, delivered by independent experts and supported by the UK’s Chief Scientific Adviser, setting out the nature and scale of the climate and nature threats facing the UK, why these threats matter to people’s lives and livelihoods, and to introduce emergency legislation, investment and public engagement commensurate with the scale and urgency of the crisis.

Kind regards,

Unfortunately Jon Pearce MP for High Peak always responds that he doesn't sign EDM's. I can't recall his reasoning for this, and have deleted his responses so I can't refer back to them.

Worth another try though

100%, we all need to do this. Any MP who doesn’t support deserves absolute censure as they would be  working against the interests and future safety of their constituents and their descendants! 😈
