People's Emergency Briefing film

What's happening with climate and nature in the UK and beyond?  Do we need to be fully briefed on what it means for our lives, our economy and our future and how to take action locally?

This 50-minute film is based on the National Emergency Briefing in Westminster which took place in November 2025 when nine of the UK’s leading experts briefed an invited audience of over 1,200 politicians and leaders from business, culture, faith, sport and the media at an event held at Westminster. The briefings set out the implications of climate and nature breakdown for extreme weather, health, food security, national security and the cost of living.

This event helped launch a film “The People’s Emergency Briefing”, hosted by Chris Packham, which summarises the Briefings and transmits some of the reactions of the audience who attended the briefings.  

There have been, or are planned, almost 5,000 screenings of the film throughout the UK.  This has become a huge grass-roots movement to express our concerns and it is hoped that this will show the Government that we are not afraid of the truth and expect them to act upon the evidence.  Learn more at www.nebriefing.org.

After the screening there will be a chance to share reactions to the key messages and then to participate in a facilitated discussion.  It will be an opportunity to explore how we can respond to the climate and nature crisis, both as individuals and locally as a community.

Doors open at 6.45 pm with refreshments.

Please note: Spaces are free but limited so please book in advance.  The event is recommended for ages 16+.  If after booking you are unable to attend, we’d be very grateful if you could let us know so that we can re-allocate your ticket to someone else.

UPDATE:  On 16 November Parliament will debate the petition “Hold a UK-wide briefing on climate and nature risks” in direct response to the petition begun by Chris Packham (view link here).
