Community screening of the ‘People’s Emergency Briefing’ at the RAU from 7.30-10pm.

What’s happening with climate and nature, and what does it mean for everyday life in the UK? Join us for a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing - 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,🏥 Health, 💷 Cost of living.

The film is based on the National Emergency Briefing held in Westminster on 27th November last year with appearances from Chris Packham, Deborah Meaden, and a range of voices from across the UK. After the film there will be a short open discussion in which we'll explore what it means for us and our community, and what we can do, both personally and collectively, to respond to what we've learned.
