Why did two brothers spend their personal fortune briefing MPs and industry leaders about climate change?
In this first episode, we speak to Simon Oldridge, who, together with his brother Nick, founded and funded the National Emergency Briefing, which brought more than 1,200 politicians and leaders from business, culture, faith, sport and the media together in Westminster to hear ten leading experts present evidence on climate and nature risks across health, food, national security, the economy, extreme weather and energy.
The concept communicated how climate and nature breakdown affects almost every aspect of British life — from food and health to the economy and national security — and challenged decision-makers to respond at the scale the evidence demands. The accompanying film has reached audiences across the country, with more than 2,000 community, workplace and cinema screenings.
