Those with an interest in or who would like more knowledge on what they can do in the fight against climate change are invited to a screening at Hull’s Guildhall.
Hull City Council is hosting a free screening of the National Emergency Briefing, also referred to as the People’s Emergency Briefing, later this month.
The 50-minute film detailing the impact of climate change now and also in the future will be shown, followed by a discussion session.
The session will help members of the public learn more from experts on the scale and causes and impacts of climate change and how people can stay resilient, as well as actions they can take as individuals and households to combat the crisis.
Attendees will also benefit from a greater understanding of how the council is working towards ambition five of its community plan of responding to the climate and nature emergency.
The National Emergency Briefing session will be led by the Leader of the Council Cllr Mike Ross, and the portfolio holder for the environment, Cllr Charles Quinn.
Those attending will have the opportunity to support the film by signing an open letter for it to be lobbied to government.
Cllr Quinn said: “The council is committed to tackling climate change. It’s important that we support the National Emergency Briefing to keep that discussion going in the city.
“It is great to see so many screenings already happening and this movement building momentum.
“Hull is susceptible to the impacts of climate change more than most, so it is important that the council and the city realises the urgency in which we need to act.
“No prior knowledge on what is happening in Hull is needed and the council looks forward to welcoming residents to learn more and share ideas about what we can all do.”
The National Emergency Briefing public session will be held from 6:30pm on Tuesday 24 November in Room C1 in Hull’s Guildhall on Alfred Gelder Street (doors open 6:15pm).
It is open to all residents in Hull aged 16 and over and those wishing to attend must register in advance.
