About this Event

You are invited to join us for a live screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing film, followed by an open discussion on what this means in the local context.


Location: Arup, Centenary Way, Birmingham
Date: 21 April 2026
Time: 4pm–6pm (with optional informal social at Albert Schloss afterwards)


What you’ll see

The 45‑minute film captures key moments from last November’s National Emergency Briefing, where leading experts in climate science, health, food security, economics, national security, and nature laid out the latest evidence on how environmental change is already shaping everyday life in the UK.

You’ll hear how issues such as extreme weather, rising food prices, pressures on health services, infrastructure disruption, and household energy costs are affecting communities across the country.


Why this matters

The initiative is non‑partisan and supported by trusted organisations including the National Trust, the Church of England, WWF, the Royal Meteorological Society, and several UK universities.

For businesses and local communities, these challenges are real and increasing supply chains, insurance, workforce wellbeing, transport reliability, and long‑term investment stability are all being affected.

Join the discussion

After the film, we’ll host a 45‑minute local conversation about what this means for Birmingham in terms of our economy, our resilience, and the choices we face as a city and region.


Reserve your place and take part in an open, practical discussion about how we can prepare for the future together.
