研究人员表示，在观看关于气候和自然系统崩溃问题的简报后，十分之九的受访者表示更有动力采取行动，因此英国政府必须诚实地说明气候和自然系统崩溃所带来的威胁规模。
The British government must be honest about the scale of the threat posed by climate and nature breakdown, researchers have said, after nine out of 10 people surveyed after watching a briefing on the issue felt more motivated to act.
去年11月，在伦敦威斯敏斯特大厅举行的“史上首次全国性紧急简报”中，九位专家对英国为适应快速变化的气候和生态格局所需进行的变革规模，做出了严峻的评估。
Last November, in the “first-of-its-kind national emergency briefing”, nine experts gave stark assessments in Westminster Hall in London of the scale of the changes needed in the UK to adapt to the rapidly changing climate and ecological landscape.
该活动背后的团队通过众筹制作了一部名为《人民紧急简报》的影片，概述了气候和自然系统崩溃对粮食安全、经济和公共健康构成的紧迫威胁。
The team behind the event crowdfunded to produce the People’s Emergency Briefing a film outlining the urgent threats that climate and nature breakdown pose to food security, the economy and public health.
这部影片迄今已在超过3400场放映中被估计18.5万人观看，呼吁政府就气候和自然危机举行黄金时段的电视紧急简报。
The film, which has so far been viewed by an estimated 185,000 people at more than 3,400 screenings, calls on the government to stage a primetime, televised emergency briefing on the climate and nature crisis.
在13000名受访者中，87%的人表示观看影片后更有动力采取行动。观看影片与对环境认知和关切的“重大转变”相关。
Of the 13,000 people surveyed, 87% said watching the film made them more motivated to act. Watching the film is associated with a “substantial shift” in environmental understanding and concern.
此外，89%的人表示，政府应以类似新冠疫情或第二次世界大战的紧急动员级别来应对这场危机。
Furthermore, 89% of people said the government should respond to the crisis with emergency-level mobilisation, similar to the Covid-19 pandemic or the second world war.
国家紧急简报主席迈克·伯恩斯-李教授表示，当公众被信任并获知事实时，新冠疫情的威胁是容易理解的。
Prof Mike Berners-Lee, the chair of the National Emergency Briefing, said the threat from Covid-19 was easy for the public to understand when they were trusted with the facts.
该团队呼吁由独立专家主导、首相出面，实施类似的统一紧急响应。
The team is calling for a similar united emergency response delivered by independent experts and fronted by the prime minister.
此外，93%的受访者表示，公众并未获得关于气候危机和自然丧失的充分信息。
In addition, 93% of those surveyed said the public was not being fully informed about the climate crisis and nature loss.
此前，政府曾因拒绝发布英国情报人员的一份报告而受到指责，该报告警告称，全球关键生态系统的崩溃将对国家安全造成灾难性影响，政府被指对公众隐瞒真相。
The government has previously been accused of hiding the truth from the public after refusing to publish a report from UK intelligence officers warning of the catastrophic impacts on national security from the collapse of vital ecosystems around the world.
主持这项研究的巴斯大学洛林·惠特马什教授指出，虽然大多数人都了解气候危机带来的一些风险，但那些涉及国家安全、粮食供应以及对英国国家医疗服务体系影响的“次级风险”则没那么显而易见。
Prof Lorraine Whitmarsh, from the University of Bath who led the research, said while most people were aware of some of the risks associated with the climate crisis, the “second-order risks” around national security, food supplies and impacts on the NHS were not so obvious.
她说道：“看过这部影片后，我认为观众们自然会意识到：这些风险将切实影响到每个人的日常生活，因此所有人都理应了解它们。也正因如此，他们支持面向公众开展相关教育。”国家应急简报团队则呼吁安迪·伯纳姆如实说明气候与生态恶化所带来的威胁程度。伯纳斯-李表示：“唯有如此，他才能传递出‘无论情况顺心与否，自己始终讲真话’的信号。”
She said: “Once somebody has sat through the film, I think they understandably feel everybody should know about these risks as these are going to be things that impact everybody on a day-to-day level, and so they support that greater education of the public.”The National Emergency Briefing team is calling on Andy Burnham to be honest about the scale of the threat posed by climate and nature breakdown. “In doing that, he will send out a message that he speaks the truth, however comfortable or uncomfortable,” said Berners-Lee.
近日，苏格兰首席部长约翰·斯温尼在苏格兰议会观看了这部影片。英国政府虽未就是否会放映该片作出回应，但表示“欢迎任何有助于推动公众持续关注应对气候变化及生态破坏行动的宣传活动”。
John Swinney, the first minister of Scotland, recently attended a screening of the film at the Scottish parliament. The UK government did not respond to a request for comment on whether it will screen the film but said it “welcomes any campaign that keeps our action against climate change and nature loss in the public discussion”.
