A new independent film called the People’s Emergency Briefing has been screened more than 1,400 times across the country in recent months. The 50-minute documentary, hosted by TV presenter and environmentalist Chris Packham, reviews and critiques the UK’s handling of the climate and nature crisis. After screenings, prompts given by the local screening host facilitate conversations that encourage the audience to debate and assess action plans among themselves.

Designed to resonate with people who have tuned out of conventional climate messaging, this film stems from the national emergency briefing on climate and nature that was presented to more than 1,200 MPs and influential leaders at Westminster in November 2025.
