Yesterday I attended a screening of the People's Emergency Briefing at Ocean Road Community Centre. It was inspiring to see so many local people coming together to discuss the challenges we face and more importantly the solutions. The briefing explains the scale of the climate and nature emergency in clear, accessible terms and highlights practical actions communities and individuals can take to build a fairer and greener future. Over 1,000 screenings have already been organised across the UK.

If you get the chance to attend a local screening, I'd highly recommend it. Change starts with informed communities working together.

I saw the National Emergency Briefing last night. I would encourage everyone to see it.

Fascinating to watch the vital National Emergency Briefing at Whitley Bay Big Local last night! 💚🎥

Councillors Helen and Martin, along with many local members, attended a screening of the new film, which sets out the risks facing the UK – and the credible, positive responses available – as explained by experts in climate, health, food security, economics and more. To find hopeful solutions to these challenges, locally and nationally, it’s so valuable to hear and discuss expert testimony; Helen and Martin will be asking North Tyneside Council to host a screening and Alan Campbell MP to push for the film to be shared nationally.

Check out the National Emergency Briefing website for a map of upcoming screenings and more information about the campaign! 🎞️
