“People’s Emergency Briefing” – screening in Adel

There is to be a screening in the ward of the People’s Emergency Briefing film on the threats to British life from ongoing damage to nature and to our climate.

Location: The Stables, Adel Parish Church
Date: Sunday 11th October 2026
Duration: 50 mins
Time: 2pm

The film features footage from last November’s National Emergency Briefing, which brought together leading UK experts in climate science, food security, health, economics, national security and nature.

It presents a clear, measured overview of how the climate and nature crisis is affecting everyday life in Britain – and what the evidence says about risks and responses.

The initiative is explicitly non-partisan, and is supported by a wide range of organisations including National Trust, Church of England, Exeter University, the Royal Meteorological Society, WWF, National Education Union, and many more.

The purpose of the Briefing is to support informed democratic discussion and ensure that national and local decision-makers, alongside the public, share a common understanding of the scale and urgency of the challenge.

Following the 50-minute film, we will host a 45-minute structured local discussion on what this means for our community, including implications for local preparedness, resilience and long-term planning.
