Screening Event: The People's Emergency Briefing
Free, In Person, Talks
Saturday 23rd May 2026 1:00pm - 2:30pm
God's House Tower, Town Quay Road, Southampton, SO14 2NY
Join us in the Crawford Room at GHT to watch the new film National Emergency Briefing about the climate and nature crisis.
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. 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.
Watch the new film featuring Chris Packham in the Crawford Room at God’s House Tower. The climate & nature crisis threatens all aspects of British life from national security to food supply, but solutions exist.
