ActOne Cinema in Acton will be showing the People’s Emergency Briefing on Sunday 12 July 2026 at 10.30am. There will be a hosted discussion about the film’s message in the Lounge after the screening. You can book places here.
The Film
In November 2025, ten of the UK’s leading experts invited Members of Parliament, politicians, and leaders from business, culture, faith, sport and the media, to listen to a series of presentations on the implications of climate and nature breakdown on our national security. The People’s emergency briefing film captures those briefings, and presents the findings in a clear and accessible account designed for screenings in communities across the UK.
The briefing set out the implications of climate and nature breakdown for health, food systems, national security and the economy, and it did so on the public record. Its purpose is to demonstrate what a clear, evidence-led national emergency briefing could look like and why it is needed.
The film sets out the risks facing the nation – and the credible, positive responses available – it is hoped that sharing the findings in this way will help build an irresistible call for the Government to stage a televised emergency briefing, the essential first step towards the WW2-scale response now required.
