About the event

Join a local screening of the People's Emergency Briefing and a discussion on actions we can take at Didcot Civic Hall. 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. 

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. 

Here is a trailer of the film. We hope you can join us!
