📢 A special community screening: The People’s Emergency Briefing #PEBuk

What’s happening with climate and nature, and what does it mean for everyday life in the UK?

Join us for a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing - an eye-opening film bringing together nine leading UK scientists and experts with the latest evidence and why it matters for things like:

🌧️ Extreme weather
🍞 Food security
🏥 Health
💷 Cost of living

The film is based on the National Emergency Briefing in Westminster (featured by ITV, Channel 4 and The Times) with appearances from Chris Packham, Deborah Meaden, and a range of voices from across the UK.

The film is 50 minutes long and will be followed by a discussion and Q&A with members of the Cabot Institute for the Environment:

  • Professor Margherita Pieraccini, University of Bristol Law School: socio-legal scholar working on environmental matters, with a special focus on conservation and governance of the commons.
  • Dr Lauren Blake, Bristol Veterinary School: social scientist and interdisciplinary food systems researcher focused on equitable resilience and the interconnected health of people, societies, animals, and the environment.
  • Dr Alice Venn, University of Bristol Law School: climate law, policy and justice specialist with a focus on human rights-based approaches and inclusive climate decision making.
  • Dr Dan O'Hare, Senior Lecturer and educational psychologist with a specialism in climate psychology. His work currently focuses on the emotional and psychological dimensions of climate adaptation, particularly for young people, schools and communities. Dan is a member of the Climate Psychology Alliance and an advisor for the Climate Majority Project.

Seats are free, but limited so please book in advance.
