The RWB Environment Trust are showing the People’s Emergency Briefing film. 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. Presenting 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 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. 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, there will be a 45-minute structured local discussion on what this means for our community, including implications for local preparedness, resilience and long-term planning. The Rt Rev Graham Usher, Bishop of Norwich and lead Bishop for Environment for the Church of England, has written: “I encourage churches to invite their wider community and show this film – it’s a wake up for us all. Its message to care for climate, people, nature is so urgently needed, not least so that we might live and act as Jesus would have us be.”
