Film Screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing

The 50-minute film will be followed by structured, small group discussions on what this means for our community. After that, from 9:00-9:30pm, there will be time for more informal discussions, and for engaging with displays and Norwich City Council’s public consultation on its draft climate action plan. The bars in The Halls will be open for drinks and snacks. This is a free, ticketed event, and tickets can be booked here. 

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 has support from a wide range of organisations including National Trust, Church of England, Exeter University, the Royal Meteorological Society, WWF, National Education Union, and many more. Its purpose is to support informed democratic discussion and ensure that Parliament and the public share a common understanding of the scale and urgency of the challenge.

We would be very pleased if you could attend. This is an opportunity for community building, to create local resilience in the face of the climate and nature challenges already unfolding.
