A Local National Emergency
In April 2026, the People’s Emergency Briefing began to roll out across the UK. The 50-minute Gogglebox-style film, includes footage taken at the National Emergency Briefing event held in Westminster in November 2025, interviews with climate experts and scientists and reactions from celebrities and members of the public. The team behind the briefings: brothers Simon and Nick Oldridge and their colleagues, hoped for screenings in every constituency in the UK, and for as many MPs as possible to see the film and to show their support for a national televised briefing.
Isabelle Sparrow, host of the Carbon Copy Podcast, is also a member of one of the local organisations that signed up to put on a People’s Emergency Briefing event, Sustainable Wymondham. This episode of the podcast tells the story of her experience, and of how the groundswell of awareness and urgency around the climate crisis created by the film can be channeled into more action.

- Learn where the idea for the National Emergency Briefing came from.
