Join us in person for a special screening of The People's National Emergency Briefing—don’t miss it!

In case you haven't seen it yet, or would like to see it again, the Balfron Community Council is hosting 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.

Already screened in nearby villages, this 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.

These issues are not abstract. They increasingly affect supply chains, insurance costs, workforce health, infrastructure reliability, energy prices, food systems and long-term investment 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 50-minute film, we will host a 45-minute structured local discussion focused on what this means for our area - including resilience and forward planning.

So if you missed it elsewhere, you have another opportunity to see this film and join in a discussion about the issues shaping our future.
