Invitation: People’s Emergency Briefing screening – local organisations
Ipswich Umbrella
Hello,
I am writing to invite you and members of your community/organisation to attend a local screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing film on the risks to British life and the UK economy from ongoing damage to nature and to our climate.
Location:
Main
Lecture, University of Suffolk, Waterfront Building,Ipswich, Suffolk,
IP4 1QJ
Date: Saturday
30th
May
Time:
14:00
– 17:00
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.
For local organisations and communities, these issues are not abstract. They increasingly affect insurance costs, people’s health, infrastructure reliability, energy prices, food systems and long-term community stability.
The purpose of the Briefing is to support informed democratic discussion and ensure that public institutions, businesses and communities share a common understanding of the scale and urgency of the challenge.
Following the 45-minute film, we will host a 45-minute structured local discussion focused on what this means for businesses in our area - including resilience, competitiveness and forward planning.
We would greatly value participation from all types of organisation and community group.
Please let us know if you would be willing to circulate this invitation to members and to join us on 30th May 2026.
