About the People's Emergency Briefing
The National Emergency Briefing (NEB) is calling for government to give a live emergency briefing on the climate and nature crisis, introduced by the Prime Minister and delivered by independent experts, as an essential step to unlock the wartime-scale response now required.
The new film, presented by Chris Packham, is screening in communities and workplaces across the UK to raise awareness and build public support for that government-led briefing. It features contributions from prominent figures including Jennifer Saunders and Deborah Meaden, alongside leading scientists and experts.
Saunders says “I’d make sure that everybody in every school and every place of work had to sit down and listen to this.”
There has been significant national enthusiasm for the screenings, with more than 3,500 screenings having taken place or planned across the UK. The campaign is also backed by a parliamentary petition set up by Chris Packham, calling for a UK-wide government briefing on climate and nature risks. The petition has attracted over 129,000 signatures and closes on 20 November 2026.
Rt Rev John Arnold, Bishop of Salford: "Our faith compels us to speak up on matters of justice and morality and by joining this initiative we can play our part in calling for the government to take the action that is urgently needed”
Nick Smith, Eleven founder “We got involved with the screening project as we felt that galvanising the Manchester business community was key step in taking awareness of the film and campaign to the next level”
A full list of the planned screenings is available on the National Emergency Briefing Screening map
