There is a new and exciting initiative sweeping the country that aims to inform people about the climate and nature crisis while at the same time giving us agency to respond, grasping the opportunities that this crisis represents, and giving our government the mandate to act.
The film, The People’s Emergency Briefing, is followed by a facilitated and friendly discussion over tea and cake/wine and nibbles on the implications and opportunities for us locally.
The People’s Emergency Briefing will be screened:
- At – venue
- On – date and time
- Coffee/tea/cakes/biscuits/wine and nibbles will be served from xx am/pm
Did you know that more than eight out of ten people want our government to do more to protect climate and nature? Yet governments consistently underestimate the popularity of climate-and-nature friendly laws.
In November last year, more than 1,200 MPs, peers and leaders from business, culture, faith, sport and the media gathered at Westminster Central Hall for a landmark national briefing delivered by leading UK experts. The event opened with broadcaster Chris Packham, who called for clear public understanding of the risks facing the UK. Experts addressed the implications of climate and nature breakdown for food security, health, national security, infrastructure and the economy, alongside practical evidence on how risks can still be reduced.
Chris Packham has said:
“I’d encourage people everywhere to attend a screening of The People’s Emergency Briefing. It creates exactly the kind of honest local conversation we now urgently need, both about what these changes mean where we live, and about what we can do together to address them.”
Revd xx said:
“At our church we feel excited and privileged to be part of this national effort to respond appropriately to the climate and nature crisis with both urgency and hope. All are welcome, whatever your starting point or previous view – let’s get together as a community, face up to the problem, and work out solutions together over tea and homemade cakes.”
Local MPs, councillors and community leaders are being invited to attend and will be encouraged to take part in discussing how we respond as a community.
The National Emergency Briefing is supported by organisations across conservation, education, faith and civil society, including the Church of England, WWF, the National Trust, CPRE and the Royal Meteorological Society.
