Why Most Climate Films Miss What Business Actually Needs

Ten of the UK's leading climate experts walked into Westminster last November and delivered one of the most evidence-based briefings Parliament has seen. Now it is a film, and it changes the conversation for anyone running a business.

This is not abstract environmentalism. The National Emergency Briefing connects climate science directly to the things business leaders care about: health systems, food supply chains, national security, and economic stability. It features Lord Deben, Chris Packham CBE, and Professor Michael Mann, and they make the case that emergency-level action is also an enormous economic opportunity.

In this video, I break down what the film gets right about business and sustainability, and why we are hosting a private screening at The Garden Cinema in London on 6 May 2025.

Doors open at 5:30 PM. Film starts at 6, followed by a Q&A, drinks, and conversation. If you work in business and sustainability, we would love to have you there.

About the Podcast

Will Richardson (51toCarbonZero.com)
An Insight into sustainability news, my life and the experiences I faced in running previous businesses.
I am trying to change the way we work, the relationship we have our work and the world around us. We live in a complicated world with a lot of noise. But we need to be making decisions now and those decisions will have ramifications for decades. Will we always make the right decisions; no. But are we doing it for the right reasons I would like to say yes to that - speaking from my heart. This is an audible blog on what I am doing and what we as a business are doing. Some could say it is self promotion, it probably is a bit, I am trying to change the world and be a part of the solution BUT it is also my way to articulate where I am and keep a log of it for my future self and maybe others will learn from my mistakes as I am sure there will be loads!!
