People's Emergency Briefing Film (West Dean, Wilts/Hants)

How is the climate change emergency going to effect you, our communities, and local environment? 
At this screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing film, become informed 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, including general lifestyles, general health, mental health, transport, supply chains, insurance costs, infrastructure reliability, fuel/energy prices, food systems and long-term stability and biodiversity of our country.  

It also explores the challenges of staying resilient in the face of increasing flood risk, heatwaves, food insecurity and wider systemic pressures.

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.

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 opportunities that flow from responding at pace.

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

The screening of this event is free, however, there is a small charge of £2.50 to cover venue hire and admin.
