People’s Emergency Briefing film screenings
As summer 2026 has shown, the UK faces a growing climate and nature emergency. Yet most people have never been fully briefed on what it means for our lives, our economy and our future.
People’s Emergency Briefing is a new film from the National Emergency Briefing. It sets out the risks facing the nation – and the credible, positive responses available – in a clear and accessible account designed for community screenings.
The film follows the National Emergency Briefing event in November 2025, which brought together leading experts to present the latest evidence on the climate and nature crisis to politicians and other influential people in Westminster. This vital message is now being shared across the UK, bringing together people from across local communities to hear the evidence and discuss how to respond.
The Kirklees Climate Commission is supporting screenings across our district, including initial events in Huddersfield and Marsden.
Upcoming screenings include:
- Friday 4 September, 7.30pm, at St Paul’s Church, Armitage Bridge HD4 7PD.
- Tuesday 8 September, 7.30pm, at Honley Village Hall, HD9 6DE.
- Thursday 1 October, 7pm, at Holmfirth Civil Hall HD9 3AS – part of the Holmfirth Film Festival.
- Sunday 25 October, 4pm, at Skelmanthorpe Community Centre HD8 9BH.
Events are free to attend, and will include a post-screening discussion.
Further screenings of the People’s Emergency Briefing are being planned in communities across Kirklees. We’ll post links here as details are confirmed, or you can check out the national screenings map for the latest information.
