Description

Join us for a community screening of the National Emergency Briefing film followed by a panel discussion.

In November 2025, the National Emergency Briefing brought together leading experts to present the latest evidence on the climate and nature crisis to politicians and influential figures in Westminster. That evidence is now publicly available, and it reveals a crisis more serious and immediate than many realise.

This 50-minute film combines authoritative scientific content from the Westminster event with personal reactions from members of the public and familiar voices. It delivers frank facts about the threats facing every constituency in the UK, from health and food systems to infrastructure, security, and economic stability. Importantly, it also highlights the enormous benefits of bold, urgent government action, offering a pathway to a better future.

The film is supported by a wide range of organisations including the National Trust, Church of England, Exeter University, Royal Meteorological Society, WWF, and the National Education Union. Its non-partisan purpose is to foster informed democratic discussion and ensure Parliament and the public share a common understanding of the scale and urgency of this challenge.

Many viewers have shared that while the facts are alarming, the film inspires optimism about confronting the crisis together.

About the Screening Programme

Each community screening is followed by a structured, locally focused discussion guided by the NEB team. These conversations remain constructive and solution-oriented, helping people process the information emotionally and engage meaningfully. By bringing communities and decision-makers together around the same evidence, the programme aims to spark informed dialogue at local and national levels.
