People's Emergency Briefing Film Screening

Climate and nature breakdown will affect every part of our country, from health and food systems to infrastructure, security to economic stability. This crisis is more serious and immediate than many understand. There is strong evidence that bold, urgent action will improve lives and livelihoods, but the window of opportunity is narrowing as we delay.

The National Emergency Briefing brought together experts from a wide variety of fields, hosted by Chris Peckham. From this, a 45-minute film has been produced which is screening in community venues across the UK.

This free 45-minute film combines authoritative scientific content from the Briefing, with reactions from members of the public and some more familiar faces - designed to help audiences process the information on a more human level. It will deliver the frank facts about the threats, but also the enormous benefits of genuine emergency action.

Many of those attending the event commented that although the facts are alarming, they felt a sense of optimism about confronting the challenge together and seeing a pathway to a better future. For future designers, artists and architects at the GSA, and for our wider community, it is essential, invigorating viewing.

The film will be followed by a facilitated discussion.

Screened in partnership with Unison, Friends of the Earth Scotland, XR Glasgow.

Access: Flat access including a lift to the basement lecture theatre. Accessible toilets.
