People’s Emergency Briefing Film & Discussion

On Wednesday 27 May 2026 the University of Derby Buxton in partnership with Transition Buxton CIC will host a screening of the 50 minute People’s Emergency Briefing film at the Devonshire Dome at 7pm followed by a discussion panel, finishing at 8:30pm.

The panel includes Professor Chris Sansom, the University’s theme lead on Zero Carbon, and Dr Polina Baranova, Associate Professor of Strategy & Sustainability, who work at the cutting edge of environmental research and education.

In November 2025, the National Emergency Briefing (NEB) brought together leading experts to present the latest evidence on the climate and nature crisis to over 1200 politicians, business leaders and representatives from faith, sport, and media in Westminster. That evidence is now on the public record and a film version has been created to bring together people in local communities across the UK along with local leaders to hear the evidence and discuss how to respond.

This is an excellent opportunity to hear the latest science and evidence about the interconnected nature and climate crisis, and to discuss what and how we can respond globally, nationally, locally and individually.  The briefing highlights threats to health, the economy, food, energy and national security leading to the suggestion of a WW2 scale of emergency response.  You can form your own opinion and consider how you will choose to respond to these threats.

To manage the event well we need you to register online although there is no cost to participating in this important conversation https://NEB_buxton.eventbrite.co.uk
