Come to 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 free public screening takes place at Royston Parish Church on Tuesday 7th July at 7.30pm, followed by a facilitated community discussion.
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 screening forms part of a growing UK-wide programme of events designed to help ensure that both the public and decision-makers are clearly and honestly informed about the climate and nature crisis – and what it may mean for communities across the country.
The briefing, introduced by Chris Packham CBE, sets out the implications of climate and nature breakdown for food security, public health, infrastructure, the economy and national security, alongside evidence-based actions that could reduce these risks.
Following the film, attendees will be invited to take part in a structured discussion, designed to support open, constructive conversation about the issues raised and what they may mean locally.
Carol Stanier of Royston Environmental Group, one of the event organisers, said: “This is about creating space for people to come together, look at the evidence, and begin a more open and informed conversation about what it means for our town – and what we can do now to improve our lives and those of our children and grandchildren in the future”.
