  • National Emergency Briefing Film

    Last November, ten 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.

    The briefing set out the implications of climate and nature breakdown for health, food systems, national security and the economy.The People’s Emergency Briefing brings together people in local communities across the UK to hear the evidence and discuss how to respond - together with their MP..


    The 50-minute film will combine authoritative scientific content from the Westminster event with reactions from members of the public and some more familiar faces - designed to help audiences process the information on a more human level. It will deliver the frank facts about the threats, but also the enormous benefits if Government leads genuine emergency action. Local screenings are:

    • Brockweir 19th November
    • Llandogo 26th November
    • Catbrook 30th January

    The website for the film is here: https://www.nebriefing.org
