A reminder for everyone to ask their MP to go to this. Politicians must know the facts on the threat & solutions. And crucially, they need to have been publicly seen to have been informed, so they can't say they didn't know.
I urge all policymakers to attend this vital briefing on the climate & nature crisis, which brings the latest science from leading experts straight to the people in power. I’d like to see one in every country, & the organizers are open to sharing the model. More info: www.nebriefing.org
