Last week, over 1,000 people packed Central Hall Westminster for the National Emergency Briefing, a defining moment that saw MPs, Peers, and business leaders hear directly from nine leading experts on the climate risks facing Britain.
Higginson Strategy was proud to support this first-of-its-kind event that united political veterans Sir Vince Cable and Caroline Lucas with cultural figures like Jennifer Saunders, Brian Eno, and Jarvis Cocker. The message was clear and urgent. Former military chief Richard Nugee CB CVO CBE warned of “inevitable” global instability without immediate action, while economists laid out how climate inaction threatens the Chancellor’s growth ambitions.
Chris Packham opened proceedings by calling out the fossil fuel lobby’s well-oiled misinformation machine. The experts laid it on the line – from food security warnings to national defence implications, this delivered the evidence-based briefing decision-makers require.
Higginson Strategy was delighted with the extraordinary media impact we achieved. The National Emergency Briefing dominated the news agenda, not least BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme, Channel 5 and ITV News, alongside coverage in leading national publications.
