The People’s Emergency Briefing – Film Screening in Swindon
A National Briefing Brought to the Public.

The National Emergency Briefing is a rapidly growing UK public information initiative, working to ensure that both Parliament and the wider public are clearly and honestly informed about the climate and nature crisis — and what an effective national response requires.

In November 2025, more than 1,200 MPs, peers, and leaders from business, culture, faith, sport and the media gathered at Westminster Central Hall for a landmark national event. The briefing opened with broadcaster Chris Packham, who called for greater public understanding of the risks facing the UK.

Leading experts outlined the implications of climate and nature breakdown for food security, public health, national security, infrastructure and the economy. The briefing also highlighted practical, evidence-based actions that could still reduce these risks.

New Film Launch and Local Screening This national briefing has now been adapted into a new 50-minute public film, The People’s Emergency Briefing, which launched nationwide on 7 April 2026. The film presents the UK-wide implications of climate and nature breakdown, drawing on evidence from leading scientists alongside voices from communities across the country.

A free local screening and discussion will take place at Christ Church, Cricklade Street, Swindon (SN1 3HB) on Monday 27th April at 7.00pm.

Tickets are free, but advance registration is encouraged to help organisers manage attendance:

More Than a Film Screening Each screening is designed not simply as a viewing, but as a civic event. Local MPs, councillors and community leaders are being invited to attend and hear directly how residents respond to the evidence presented.

With screenings taking place nationwide, local events form part of a wider public conversation about climate resilience, nature loss and the UK’s preparedness for future challenges.

National Backing The wider National Emergency Briefing programme is supported by organisations across conservation, education, faith and civil society, including World Wide Fund for Nature, National Trust, Campaign to Protect Rural England, and the Royal Meteorological Society.
