Cafe Scientifique - The People’s Emergency Briefing film

About this event

The People’s Emergency Briefing film ‘screenings everywhere for everyone’ Watch Chat Act Synopsis: The film is based on 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 the National Trust, Church of England, Exeter University, the Royal Meteorological Society, WWF, National Education Union, and many more. The purpose of the film 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. The film has already been shown in Carlisle and Penrith and other locations in Cumbria and I have been asked by many people to arrange a screening in Brampton. Following the 45-minute film, we will host a structured local discussion on what this means for our Brampton and District community, which will be facilitated by Jane Springett. Biography: Jane Springett is an emeritus professor at the Centre for Healthy Communities, University of Alberta, Canada. She has a doctorate in geography and her main area of expertise is participatory practice.
