Film: People’s Emergency Briefing at Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre

TUESDAY 26 MAY from 6 – 8pm

Our next Positive Climate Film Club screening will be on Tuesday 26th May 18.00-20.45.

This time it is a more serious evening with the People’s Emergency Briefing which is an up to date fact check on the latest scientific and ecological (nature) information within the climate and nature crises.

This briefing style film charts our UK and global situation across many different topics such as food, transport, weather patterns and nature health from experts in each field, followed by discussion by well known faces such as Chris Packham and Jennifer Saunders.

It will be an interesting night and we are inviting politicians across the parties to respond too.

Book your tickets early here – this will be at full capacity!
