The “stark reality” of what’s happening to the climate and natural world is the focus of a film to be shown to local VIPs in Ilkley.
It features warnings from scientists and other experts about the severe potential consequences of these crises including food shortages and civil unrest.
This public event, known as the People’s Emergency Briefing, is to be held at Ilkley Grammar School on Friday evening (May 15) and is one of hundreds scheduled across the country over the coming months.
Confirmed attendees include Keighley and Ilkley MP Robbie Moore, local councillors, senior staff from local schools, businesses, community groups, sports groups, and faith leaders.
The event builds on a National Emergency Briefing (nebriefing.org/), which was held last November in Westminster, where hundreds of MPs, business leaders, faith leaders and celebrities were presented with the latest evidence about the threats facing our country for example in national security, food security, and extreme weather events, together with what are often win-win solutions for climate, nature and the economy.
There will be an opportunity for discussion.
The event is facilitated by Climate Action Ilkley and supported by groups including Ilkley Community Network, Churches Together Ilkley, Wharfedale Naturalists, Friends of Ilkley Moor, the U3A Environment Group, and the Clean River Group.
