About this Event

A screening of the People's Emergency Briefing followed by friendly discussion.

Weather. We love to talk about it.

It's also changing, faster than most of us realise.

Join a local screening of the People's Emergency Briefing, a 45-minute film bringing together nine of the UK's leading scientists and experts. It’s the clearest, plainest explanation there is of how our weather, our food, our health and the places we love, are changing.

Why come along?

You might have seen the original briefing covered by ITV, Channel 4 and The Times, with appearances from Chris Packham and Deborah Meaden. This is your chance to watch it on a big screen, with your local community, right here in Tilehhurst.

People who've seen it tend to describe the same feeling afterwards: relief. Relief that someone has finally laid it all out in a way that makes sense, and relief that there's plenty we can actually do about it, much of it already happening on our doorstep.

"What stood out most was the shared tone: frank, non partisan, and rooted in public service. The speakers painted a picture of a country unprepared, but not incapable."

Royal Meteorological Society

"Somehow, it's peppered with hope without feeling glib, occasionally witty without being gimmicky, and harrowing without leaving you fully numb. This film's brilliance lies in the simple fact that it is harder to ignore than it is to respond to."

Lucy Gavaghan, Now Then Sheffield
