In November 2025 a National Emergency Briefing on Climate and Nature was held in Westminster Central Hall. Nine experts presented a summary of their specialist areas in front of an audience of MPs, peers and other influential figures in public life.; Eleanor Brooks and Brenda Ainsley were there to represent u3a. The talks are available online:

Opening Statement (12 min) - Chris Packham
Introduction (5 min) - Prof Mike Berners-Lee
Nature (13 min) - Prof Nathalie Seddon 
Climate (14 min) - Prof Kevin Anderson

These have been condensed into a 45-minute professionally-produced film. For it to be effective it needs to be seen widely, and not just by people who are already convinced of the need for climate action: this is where you and your u3a can make a difference. The film is released on 7th April: it comes with guidance on how to introduce it and manage a discussion afterwards.
