People's Emergency Briefing
The Nailsworth Society, with support from NailsworthCAN, hosted a screening of the National Emergency Briefing film on 1st June, which was attended by about 90 people, and an interesting discussion ensured.
The UK faces a growing climate and nature emergency. Yet most people have never been fully briefed on what it means for our lives, our economy and our future.
Last year, leading experts set out the evidence on the climate and nature crisis in a formal briefing to national decision-makers. A version of this has been made into a film, designed for screenings in communities. This new film from the National Emergency Briefing sets out the risks facing the nation - and the credible, positive responses available.
Read more about the Briefing here, and you can find other screening as they come up if you missed this one: https://www.nebriefing.org/the-film
