# National Emergency Briefing

Zero Hour Published 10 December 2025 Updated 16 December 2025

Almost ten years since 196 countries signed up to the historic Paris Agreement, the UK remains unprepared and off track when delivering the urgency on the biggest crisis of our lives: the climate and nature crisis.

We, at Zero Hour, were honoured to join NGOs, campaigners, Politicians and Business leaders on 27th November for the National Emergency Briefing. Arguably the most important expert briefing of our lifetime.

The plan was simple. Get politicians and business leaders capable of making the changes we need in front of the experts. Specialists from National Security, Food Security, Extreme Weather, Health, Nature, Economy, Energy and more presented the enormous implications of our current trajectory in the hopes of inspiring urgency to not only protect us from the devastating impacts of climate-nature breakdown but set us on a path for prosperity.
