Date: Saturday 19th September
Time: Doors open 7 pm, film screening 7.30 pm
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 is supported by a wide range of organisations including National Trust, Church of England, Exeter University, the Royal Meteorological Society, WWF, National Education Union, and many more.
Local authorities play a vital role in responding to these challenges. Councils are central to reducing emissions across housing, transport, planning and infrastructure, and to strengthening local resilience in the face of increasing flood risk, heatwaves, food insecurity and wider systemic pressures.
They also hold important responsibilities in relation to emergency planning, local resilience forums and community risk assessment, making it especially important that elected members have access to the clearest possible scientific understanding of the risks ahead.
The purpose of the Briefing is to support informed democratic discussion and ensure that national and local decision-makers, alongside the public, share a common understanding of the scale and urgency of the challenge.
Following the 50-minute film, Greener Winslow will host a 45-minute structured local discussion on what this means for our community, including implications for local preparedness, resilience and long-term planning.
