Milton Keynes Peace and Justice Network hosting screening of National Emergency Briefing film
The Milton Keynes Peace and Justice Network is hosting a screening of the National Emergency Briefing film tomorrow night (Tuesday).
The screening is taking place at Centrecom, located on North Row in Milton Keynes, with doors open from 7pm, prior to the film starting at 7.15pm.
The 50-minute public information film, which is based on a briefing in Westminster in November 2025, is presented by Chris Packham.
The film consists of experts presenting evidence on the implications of climate and nature breakdown for health, food systems, national security and the economy.
It combines scientific evidence with reactions from members of the public and sets out both the risks and opportunities for the future.
It will be followed by an open discussion about the issues raised in the film, and what practical steps people can take locally to make a positive change.
A spokesperson for the Milton Keynes Peace and Justice Network said: “Many people are already feeling the effects of extreme weather, rising living costs and uncertainty about what the future holds.
“The combination of climate disruption and international conflict raises serious questions about how secure our food, energy and other essential supplies really are.
“We do not want people to leave feeling powerless or frightened. We want to bring people together, share reliable information and explore what we can do to make Milton Keynes more resilient, fairer and better prepared.
“That might mean strengthening local food growing and community food networks, improving energy efficiency, supporting vulnerable neighbours, or building stronger connections between residents and local organisations.
“None of us has all the answers, but we can achieve much more by working together. This screening is an opportunity to begin that conversation and agree some practical next steps.”
Admission is free and there is no need to pre-book, but for more details email [email protected]
It is not the first screening of the film in the city, as in June a screening at the Milton Keynes Gallery, organised by the Milton Keynes Climate Action Network, was attended by more than 150 people.
A separate screening of the film is also taking place tomorrow night near Milton Keynes, in the village of Stewkley.
It is being organised by the Sustainable Stewkley group and is taking place at village’s Methodist Chapel.
Doors open at 7pm with the screening, followed by a discussion from 7.30pm. Refreshments will be available and free tickets can be reserved online through Eventbrite.
