People’s Emergency Briefing – Film Screening & DiscussionThe Public Health Threat of Climate Change and Biodiversity Loss

Join us at the University of Limerick for a special screening of People’s Emergency Briefing, a thought-provoking 50-minute documentary exploring the threats posed by climate change and biodiversity loss to human health, communities and the natural environment, as well as the opportunities and benefits of taking meaningful action.

The film features leading UK scientists and experts, contributions from public figures and the perspectives of ordinary citizens from all walks of life. It presents scientific evidence on the challenges we face and encourages reflection on how communities and institutions can respond.
