People's Emergency Briefing - St Lawrence Parish Hall, Petersfield, Tuesday 15th September 7pm
In November 2025, ten of the UK’s leading experts gave a clear account of how everyday life across the country will be affected by what is happening to our climate and environment — and what it means for our heath, food, national security and economy. Their evidence is now on the public record. The People’s Emergency Briefing, a 50-minute documentary fronted by Chris Packham, brings it together for everyone to see — not just scientists and politicians, but all of us. It is a sober reality check, but not a counsel of despair. It points firmly towards the practical steps — for governments, communities and individuals — that can build safety and resilience for the years ahead.
