The People's Emergency Briefing

The People's Emergency Briefing is coming to the Garret Theatre at Storyhouse on Saturday 7 November, starting at 11am. It's a community screening of a film that brings together nine leading UK scientists and experts to present the latest evidence on what climate and nature changes mean for everyday life in the UK. They cover extreme weather, food security, health and the cost of living, so it's less about abstract global figures and more about the things that actually touch our lives here.

The film is based on the National Emergency Briefing presented in Westminster, and it's already had some wide reach — it was picked up by ITV, Channel 4 and The Times, with appearances from Chris Packham and Deborah Meaden. The screening itself runs for about 45 minutes, and it's recommended for ages 16 and over. After the film, there's a short open discussion about what it all means for the local community, so you'll have a chance to talk it through with other people in the room rather than just heading home when the credits roll.

It's part of the Storyhouse Futures programme, and it's free to attend, though there's a 'Pay What You Can' option from £0 to £10 if you want to support the programme. Seats are limited, so booking is advised. The whole thing kicks off at 11am on Saturday 7 November at the Garret Theatre, with the film and the discussion taking up a bit over an hour in total.
