More than 80 screenings of the People’s Emergency Briefing have appeared on the national screening map across Somerset. The crowdfunded film brings the climate and nature crisis to community audiences, using evidence presented by leading experts at a Westminster briefing in November 2025.

The film explores the implications of climate and nature breakdown for health, food, national security and the economy, alongside possible responses. It also features reflections from members of the public and contributors including Chris Packham, Deborah Meaden and Jennifer Saunders.

Some screenings have led to further community discussions about practical local action, including:

  • planting trees and hedgerows,
  • supporting wildlife,
  • monitoring river health,
  • renewable energy,
  • local food,
  • active travel,
  • waste reduction, repair and reuse.
