Screening of People’s Emergency Briefing brings climate realities to Wallingford

Zoe Gater

A short film and expert-led discussion will explore how the climate and nature crises are already affecting everyday life in Britain – and what it means for the Wallingford community.

Community leaders are invited to a special screening of People’s Emergency Briefing – a short but powerful film that explores the real-world impacts of the climate and nature crises on everyday life in Britain.

Hosted by Bioabundance Community Interest Company, the event takes place on Sunday 7 June 2026 at St Mary-Le-More Church.

The screening centres on footage from a National Emergency Briefing received by 1,200 national leaders, including MPs.

Featuring leading UK experts, the film sets out the growing risks to food and water supplies, national security, public health and the economy, offering a clear-eyed look at how these challenges already reshape daily life.

Rising energy prices, disrupted supply chains, and increasing pressure on infrastructure and insurance systems show that these issues are far from abstract.

Instead, the screening aims to provide a grounded, measured overview alongside practical ideas for how communities can respond.

The Wallingford event also welcomes guest speaker Professor Nathalie Seddon of the University of Oxford, one of the briefing’s expert contributors, who will share further insight after the film.

Local MP Olly Glover will also attend alongside a range of local dignitaries.

Organisers invite participants from across business, education, health, sport, faith and public life, creating space for cross-sector discussion on what these challenges mean for the Wallingford area and how individuals and organisations can begin to prepare.

A broad coalition of organisations supports the initiative, including the UK Health Alliance on Climate Change, National Trust, Church of England, University of Exeter, Royal Meteorological Society, World Wide Fund for Nature and National Education Union.
