PEOPLE'S EMERGENCY BRIEFING
- Occurring
- for 2 hours
- Venue
- Holy Trinity
- Address Holy Trinity, Exmouth, EX8 2AB, United Kingdom
Members of Exmouth Coastal Churches, and the wider community are warmly invited to a screening of People’s Emergency Briefing, a 50-minute film exploring the risks to British life and the UK economy from damage to nature and the changing climate.
The screening will take place at Holy Trinity Church on Thursday 20 August.
Refreshments will be available from 10am, followed by the screening.
The film includes footage from last November’s National Emergency Briefing, where leading UK experts spoke on climate science, food security, health, economics, national security and nature. It gives a clear overview of how the climate and nature crisis is affecting daily life in Britain, the risks ahead and the practical responses available.
The screening will be followed by a discussion on what these issues mean for our community and what we can do to look after God’s creation.
The film screening is free, supported by Exmouth Coastal Churches.

The Right Reverend Bishop Graham Usher, Bishop of Norwich and Lead Bishop for the Environment in the Church of England, said:
“We are the first generation to see the effects of climate change and the last that can do anything about it. The People’s Emergency Briefing is a wake up call for all of us. The threat posed by climate change and loss of biodiversity dwarfs that
of other crises and the public need to be informed so that together we can turn the situation around. “All the major church denominations are highlighting the scale of the threat, the common desire to see the public properly informed, and calling the Government to lead and take urgent action. “The Church of England has a clear role in caring for God’s creation and taking prophetic action. With a Christian presence in every community in England, I strongly encourage our churches, chaplaincies and schools to host screenings of this timely and important film.
