Join us for drinks and nibbles at Arnolfini for a screening of the National Emergency Briefing film, followed by a chaired panel discussion and audience Q&A. 

This Bristol screening is for those involved in business, public life and the wider community. It is 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

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. 

It brings together leading UK experts in climate science, nature, health, economics and national security to present a clear, measured overview of the evidence on the risks facing British society and the UK economy. It is explicitly non‑partisan and designed as a shared evidence base for informed discussion. 

Following the screening, we will host a conversation focused on what this evidence means in practice - for organisations, governance, risk,  resilience and decision‑making in the Bristol region. 

We  hope that local business and civic leaders will join us for this important discussion about our future. 

Seats are limited so please book in advance. The venue is wheelchair accessible and has a hearing loop. The film has subtitles. Please let us know if you have any access requirements to fully participate. 

Bring a friend, neighbour or family member: everyone is welcome. (16+)
