The Campaign

What is the People's Emergency Briefing?

In November 2025, leading experts gathered in Westminster to brief politicians on the latest science on the climate and nature crisis: the real risks to UK food supply, health, infrastructure, and national security.

That briefing is now a 50-minute film being screened in community spaces across the UK. The goal: get every MP to watch the same evidence that was presented in Westminster.

The ultimate ask is a prime-time televised national emergency briefing. Every community screening, every letter to an MP, builds the pressure to make it happen.

"Our aim is to inform every MP about the crisis, cutting through the disinformation and lobbying that they receive, so that their policy decisions more accurately reflect the risks we face."

Template Letters

Write your own letter

Prefer to write it yourself? Use these as a starting point. Two options: a general ask, or a specific screening invitation. Fill in the bracketed parts before sending.

Letter 1 — The General Ask

Dear [MP Name],

I am writing as one of your constituents in [Constituency] to ask for your support on an issue I believe is of critical national importance.

I recently watched the People's Emergency Briefing — a 50-minute documentary based on a briefing held at Westminster in November 2025, where leading experts presented the latest evidence on the climate and nature crisis to politicians and public figures. The film makes clear that without urgent action, the UK faces serious risks to food supply, health, national security, and economic stability.

Earlier this year, over 60 Ealing residents gathered at St. Stephen's Church to watch the film together. When asked who intended to take action, every single hand went up. Our community is ready to act — and we are asking you to lead.

We have three specific requests:

1. Sign the Parliamentary Call for a prime-time televised national emergency briefing on the climate and nature crisis. This call does not prescribe policies or party positions. We understand that having a ministerial role should not be a barrier to signing.

2. Attend a local screening of the People's Emergency Briefing. There are screenings across West and North London over the coming months. We would also be happy to arrange a dedicated screening for you.

3. Meet with us for a follow-up discussion. As a local coalition of community groups, we are keen to support positive climate action locally and nationally. or join our whatsapp group: Join our WhatsApp Group

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Letter 2 — The Screening Invitation

Dear [MP Name],

I am writing to invite you to a community screening of the People's Emergency Briefing, taking place on [Date] at [Venue, Ealing].

The People's Emergency Briefing is a 50-minute documentary based on the National Emergency Briefing held at Westminster in November 2025. Ten leading UK experts — including scientists, a former military general, and leading voices from public life — gave an unfiltered account of the risks posed by climate and nature breakdown to the UK's food supply, health, national security, and economy.

We held a previous screening in April 2026 at St. Stephen's Church in Ealing, attended by over 60 local residents. When asked whether they intended to take action, every single person raised their hand. Your constituents are engaged, and they want to know that you are too.

We warmly invite you to join us on [Date]. The screening will be followed by a facilitated discussion. If this date does not work, we are happy to arrange an alternative time or share details of other upcoming screenings across West and North London via the national map at nebriefing.org/screening-map.

Please reply to confirm your attendance or discuss alternatives.

Yours sincerely,
[Your name]
[Your address / organisation]
