The People’s Emergency Briefing

The latest local screening is part of a growing UK-wide programme of events designed to help ensure that both the public and decision-makers are informed about the climate and nature crisis and conversations can take place to explore how the risks can be addressed.

The 50-minute public film, introduced by broadcaster and environmental campaigner Chris Packham, features leading scientists and experts who spoke at the National Emergency Briefing in Westminster Central Hall last November. More than 1,200 MPs, peers and leaders from business, culture, faith, sport and the media attended the briefing which set out the implications of climate and nature breakdown for food security, public health, infrastructure, the economy and national security. The briefing also included evidence-based actions that could reduce the UK’s exposure to these climate and nature risks.
