Film night: ‘The People’s Emergency Briefing’ at Emmanuel Church, Friday 3^rd July 7pm

Please come to a screening of ‘The People’s Emergency Briefing’ at Emmanuel Church, 48A Upperton Road, Eastbourne, BN21 1LQ  , Friday 3rd July at 7pm. This film, being shown in hundreds of venues around the country including many churches, helps us think about how we can prepare for an uncertain future in terms of security, food security, health, increased cost of living, protecting nature… (the things that many of us are most worried about), and highlights practical actions our community can take.

This film is only being shown at in-person screenings, not online. Please bring a friend or neighbour. Book your free seats as soon as possible.

The People’s Emergency Briefing is based on the National Emergency Briefing in Westminster (featured by ITV, Channel 4, and The Times). It’s about 50 minutes long and after the film there will be a short discussion about what it means for our community in Eastbourne and what we can do locally. There will be information about local groups and how to get involved.

This screening has been organised by the Eastbourne Climate Coalition in partnership with Emmanuel Church, supported by the Eastbourne Eco Action Network CIC. Tickets are free, but any donations towards the costs of arranging the screening will be most welcome and allow us to organise more screenings.

The film is recommended for ages 16 years+. This is an accessible venue.

Background to the film:

Did you know that more than eight out of ten people want our government to do more to protect climate and nature? Yet governments consistently underestimate the popularity of climate-and-nature friendly laws.

In November last year, more than 1,200 MPs, peers and leaders from business, culture, faith, sport and the media gathered at Westminster Central Hall for a landmark national briefing delivered by leading UK experts. The event opened with broadcaster Chris Packham, who called for clear public understanding of the risks facing the UK. Experts addressed the implications of climate and nature breakdown for food security, health, national security, infrastructure and the economy, alongside practical evidence on how risks can still be reduced.

Chris Packham has said:

“I’d encourage people everywhere to attend a screening of The People’s Emergency Briefing. It creates exactly the kind of honest local conversation we now urgently need, both about what these changes mean where we live, and about what we can do together to address them.”

The National Emergency Briefing is supported by organisations across conservation, education, faith and civil society, including the Church of England, the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, Tearfund, Operation Noah, Green Christian, The Joint Public Issues Team (JPIT) partnership between the Baptist Union of Great Britain, the Methodist Church and the United Reformed Church, WWF, the National Trust, CPRE and the Royal Meteorological Society.

We hope to see you there!
