Event details
Join us for a screening of The People’s Emergency Briefing, a new 50 minute film developed from the National Emergency Briefing held in Westminster in November 2025.
This free briefing is open to everyone over 16, including staff and students at the University and members of the public. Hosted by the University of Southampton Sustainability and Resilience Institute (SRI).
The event brought together leading scientists and policy experts to present the latest evidence on the UK’s climate and nature emergency to 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 film sets out the risks facing the UK, alongside credible and positive responses that could protect lives, livelihoods and local communities. It combines scientific facts with reflections from members of the public and recognisable contributors, to help audiences process both the urgency and the opportunity of this moment.
Hundreds of screenings are taking place across the country as part of a growing movement calling for a Government led emergency briefing to the public on prime time television.
