Want to host a People's Emergency Briefing screening and discussion... but don't know where to start?
📣 New! Tailored screening guide: www.abiperrin.com/peb-screenin...
💬 Join scientists to discuss it on Monday (20th April 7-8pm): us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...
⚠️ Scientific institutions’ responses to the Emergency have been slow and limited
🌱 But they *could* evolve rapidly, and accelerate action across society
👇 My essay on how, coinciding with its publication in @greenlabguy.bsky.social's book

People's Emergency Briefings screenings are coming to #York
📍York screenings are listed via york.earth/peb, updated as screenings are confirmed.
⁉️ Contact me via yorkcliconnect@proton.me if you are organising a screening and/or want connecting to others doing the same.
My takeaways from this event:
❌ Prominent science leaders and institutions still lack urgency and courage in confronting the Emergencies of our times
✨ There's appetite for change - let's work together to make it loud, brave and effective

Following my work with the National Emergency Briefing, I've been reflecting on climate and nature science communication and the approaches I have found most impactful.

"Without much more urgent and decisive action, we risk seeing these impacts overwhelm our capacity to respond."

"I've increasingly embraced an identity as both a scientist and an activist"
At the @granthamcsf.bsky.social's Sustainability Summit, scholars and scientists explored what roles art and activism have to play in furthering serious action on climate breakdown 🪧
@sheffielduni.bsky.social
On 27th Nov we have a shot at creating a positive societal tipping point towards genuine emergency action on the #climate #nature crisis—action which will make us better off.
Maximising MPs attendance is key. Please enter your postcode to see if your MP has confirmed yet.

I urge all policymakers to attend this vital briefing on the climate & nature crisis, which brings the latest science from leading experts straight to the people in power. I’d like to see one in every country, & the organizers are open to sharing the model. More info: www.nebriefing.org
👇The briefing we need as-many-as-possible of our MPs and influential figures in society to receive.
⚠️ Visit www.nebriefing.org and ask your MP to get to grips with the Emergency we all need to confront together.
The age of warnings is over.
The climate and nature crisis is already here, threatening our food, health and national security.
On 27 Nov, top UK experts deliver the official briefing our leaders urgently need. Make sure your MP attends❗️

Pleased to announce that @tristramwyatt.bsky.social & I have a new article out in @uk.theconversation.com, based on work with colleagues from @scientistsforxr.earth
We outline "How scientists can contribute to social movements and climate action"
Here's a thread with some background & key points 🧵
"It’s more important than ever that our professional bodies and institutions are emboldened by their membership to advocate for the public good that science brings, and the need to defend academic freedom, recognising that often means speaking truth to power."
📣 New post and article on Scientists and Emergency Action 📣
🥼 On the many ways we can take action... and why we're powerful when we do: abiperrin.com/p/scientists...
💬 On how we can support the movements that drive transformation, via @theconversation.com: theconversation.com/how-scientis...
To celebrate 40 years of indie publishing, we asked the O'Mara family to tell us their favourite MOM book that has been published over the years 🥳
