People’s Emergency Briefing Screening
Join them for a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing, a film on updated climate science, the risks and actions we can take!
Age 16+
Join a local screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing and a discussion on actions we can take at Nature Discovery Centre.
Please be aware this event is for ages 16 and up.
Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
The People’s Emergency Briefing is a film bringing together leading experts to explain, as clearly as possible, what the latest science says about the climate and nature crisis, how it is already affecting our lives, and what can still be done.
The screening of the film will be followed by a guided conversation by BBOWT to discuss personal or community-based solutions and actions we can take.
Rather than headlines or politics, the film offers a concise, evidence-based overview from experts across areas including climate, food, health, economics, national security and extreme weather.
In November 2025, there was a National Emergency Briefing held in Westminster Hall.
This briefing brought together leading experts to present the latest research on the climate and nature crisis to 1,200 politicians and leaders.
These talks were filmed, alongside reactions from members of the public and some more familiar faces, and made into a film hosted by Chris Packham.
The film is designed to be screened in public places, and 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.
As part of the national movement to host screenings in local communities, BBOWT will be hosting this screening across several sites, encouraging local discussions on climate action.
There will be two screenings held at the Nature Discovery Centre on Wednesday 25th November, the first at 12.30-2.30pm and the second from 6.30-8.30pm.
No prior knowledge or experience is needed.
Whether climate and nature issues are something you often think about, or something you’ve not had much time to explore, everyone is welcome.
Based on expert advice from the Climate Psychology Alliance, the recommended minimum age for this film is 16.
The CPA have published their guidance here, with further detail in their appendix “Talking with Children about the Climate and Nature Crisis“.
