A public film screening in Reading will highlight the scale of the climate crisis.
The People's Emergency Briefing will be shown for the second time in Reading on Thursday, April 23.
The screening will start at 7.30pm at St John's and St Stephen's Church.
The film, which is based on the National Emergency Briefing given in Westminster last November, aims to inform the public about the climate and nature crisis.
The National Emergency Briefing was presented to an audience of more than 1,200, including politicians and leaders from various sectors, and discussed the threats the climate crisis poses to the UK.
These threats include impacts on food security, infrastructure, public health, the economy, and national security.
The People's Emergency Briefing, while less intense, aims to have a significant impact on its viewers.
The screening will be followed by a short discussion, allowing attendees to share their reactions and ideas based on the information they have seen.
The film is part of a programme of thousands of screenings across the UK.
The documentary highlights the importance of public awareness in making informed decisions about climate change and nature degradation.
Despite world governments signing agreements in 1992 and 2015 to educate their citizens on the risks of climate change, very few have fulfilled this commitment, leaving many people unable to make informed decisions.
The importance of such public information films is underscored by climate trends predicting that 2026 could be one of the warmest years on record, with heatwaves expected to become hotter, longer, and more frequent.
Further screenings will be held across Reading in the coming months.
