Host a screening of the People's Emergency Briefing
In November 2025, the National Emergency Briefing brought together leading experts to present the latest evidence on the climate and nature crisis to politicians and other influential people in Westminster. That evidence is now on the public record. The next step is to take this vital message across the UK, bringing together people from across local communities to hear the evidence and discuss how to respond.
Hosting a screening event
The film brings this evidence together in a single, accessible format designed for public engagement. Screenings are intended to be followed by a facilitated discussion, for which we provide guidance and support.
Screenings are being hosted in communities, and also by organisations for their staff and members - and at events like conferences and festivals.
The purpose of screening events
Screening events create space for people to engage with the evidence collectively and locally. By inviting MPs and local decision-makers, screenings ensure the evidence is encountered on the public record, outside Westminster, and within the communities affected by it.
What hosting looks like in practice
As a host, you would organise a local screening, and where possible, invite your MP, MSP, Member of the Welsh Senedd, MLA and other relevant decision-makers. The film is followed by a facilitated discussion using guidance supplied by us.
• Securing a local venue and date
• Inviting your MP and other local influential people including journalists
• Show the film to an audience gathered in a physical space
• Run a discussion following the film for those gathered to consider how to respond
• Use the NEB guidance to outline possible next steps, including ways to encourage the MP / MSP / MS / ML to join the Parliamentary Call for a government-led televised emergency briefing
For cinemas
Our distribution partner is UK Green Film Network. Once you have registered your screening with us and added your pin to our national map, we will connect you to the UK Green Film Network who will make sure the film is sent to the cinema in DCP format. If you have any questions about cinema screenings please contact info@ukgreenfilm.net.
Support and guidance
NEB provides a Screening Guide covering event planning, facilitation guidance, suggested discussion formats and promotional assets.
What community screenings do
Most MPs did not attend the Westminster briefing, and have not had the benefit of this high-level assessment of threats to the UK. Local screenings are a fantastic way to encourage MPs to engage with this vitally important information. There will be an opportunity, after watching the film together, to ask the MP to join the call for briefing the entire nation in a prime-time televised emergency briefing.
