This autumn, communities across the Hope Valley are organising local screenings of the People’s Emergency Briefing.
In November 2025, the UK’s leading climate and nature scientists gathered at Westminster Central Hall to brief an audience of politicians, business leaders and decision-makers. Ten experts set out, in clear and unflinching terms, what the climate and nature crisis means for our health, food supply, national security and economy, and the credible, positive responses already available.
The People’s Emergency Briefing is the 50-minute film of that night. It brings together the scientific testimony with reactions from members of the public and familiar faces including Jennifer Saunders and Deborah Meaden, designed to help audiences engage with the evidence on a human level.
These screenings are open to everyone, regardless of prior knowledge or involvement in environmental issues. They are intended for anyone interested in understanding what the climate and nature crisis means and what a practical response might look like.
Following the first screening in Castleton, a second has now been arranged, alongside screenings in Hathersage and Bamford. Each event offers an opportunity to view the film together and take part in an open discussion about what an effective local response could entail.
These screenings are only possible thanks to the efforts of local volunteers who organise and host them. Our thanks go to everyone involved. You can find out more about the film here
