Exminster Climate Conversation

Join us to watch a local screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing film on the risks to British life and the UK economy from ongoing damage to nature and to our climate.The film features footage from last November’s National Emergency Briefing, which brought together leading UK experts in climate science, food security, health, economics, national security and nature.

It presents a clear, measured overview of how the climate and nature crisis is affecting everyday life in Britain, and what the evidence says about risks and responses.The initiative is explicitly non-partisan and is supported by a wide range of organisations including National Trust, Church of England, Exeter University, the Royal Meteorological Society, WWF, National Education Union, and many more.

For businesses, these issues are not abstract. They increasingly affect supply chains, insurance costs, workforce health, infrastructure reliability, energy prices, food systems and long-term investment stability. The purpose of the Briefing is to support informed democratic discussion and ensure that public institutions, businesses and communities share a common understanding of the scale and urgency of the challenge - and the economic opportunities that flow from responding at pace.

Following the 50-minute film, we will host a 45-minute structured local discussion focused on what this means for people in our area - including resilience, competitiveness and forward planning.
