Free climate change film screenings coming to Causeway Coast and Glens
Each screening will be followed by an open discussion giving attendees an opportunity to consider the implications for the local area and explore what can be done at community level.
Residents across the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough are being invited to attend a series of free film screenings exploring the challenges of climate change and the loss of nature, and what they mean for everyday life.
The People’s Emergency Briefing brings together nine leading UK scientists and experts to share the latest evidence on climate change and nature loss, highlighting the impact on issues including extreme weather, food security, public health and the cost of living.
Based on the National Emergency Briefing held in Westminster, the film features contributions from Chris Packham, Deborah Meaden and a range of voices from across the UK.
The briefing has also featured in coverage by ITV, Channel 4 and The Times.
Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Councillor Dawn Huggins said: “The screenings provide an opportunity for residents to hear from leading experts and learn more about the challenges we face in relation to climate change and the loss of nature.
“These issues affect us all, from the extreme weather we experience to the food we eat, our health and the cost of living. Understanding the evidence is an important step in recognising the impact these changes can have on our everyday lives.
“I would encourage people to come along, watch the film and take part in the discussion afterwards about what these issues mean for our local communities and the practical steps we can take to help protect our environment and shape a more sustainable future.”
Each screening will be followed by a short, open discussion, giving attendees an opportunity to consider the implications for the local area and explore what can be done at community level.
