By Nick Drew — Nick Drew, from the Climate Psychology Alliance and a long-standing member of the Emergencies Partnership (EP) Mental Health Network, has written a powerful blog as a stark (but also hopeful) reminder that the UK is already living in a climate crisis, with record-breaking heat and rising risks becoming the new normal. Nick highlights urgent warnings from national reports, the surge of community screenings of the People’s Emergency Briefing film and the growing need for collective resilience. Nick’s message is clear: we must turn awareness into community‑level action because investing in preparedness now saves lives later but, thankfully, there are passionate and capable people who are feeling more capable and motivated to act (and that can grow).
