About the film

• The UK faces a growing climate and nature emergency. Yet most people have never been fully briefed on what it means for our lives, our economy and our future.
• This new film from the National Emergency Briefing sets out the risks facing the nation - and the credible, positive responses available - in a clear and accessible account designed for screenings in communities across the UK.

* Why the film's producers recommend ages 16 and over only

Whilst circumstances will vary across children and families, we caution against bringing children under 16 for several reasons:
● The film naturally discusses emergencies and depicts some extreme weather events, which younger children without mature coping strategies may find overwhelming. This may have adverse impacts on them both at the event and beyond.
● The adults accompanying children to the screening could also struggle with the emotional impact of the content and may understandably find it hard to provide emotional containment to their children during and after the screening. Children and young people commonly speak about having their feelings and worries dismissed by adults in their lives, which can occur when adults have not begun to process their own feelings around the climate crisis.
