The People's Emergency Briefing: Film and discussion
Bath & West Community Energy and St Michael’s Church invite you to a FREE screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing on Climate and Nature.
In November 2025, the National Emergency Briefing brought together leading experts to present the latest evidence on the climate and nature crisis to politicians and other influential people in Westminster.
The next step is to take this vital message across the UK, bringing together people from across local communities to hear the evidence and discuss how to respond.
Join us for a viewing of the film followed by a panel discussion with special guests Jonathon Porritt, Campaigner and Author, Pete Capener, MD of Bath & West Community Energy and Ruth Lambert, CEO of Share and Repair.
