The People's Emergency Briefing

8 June 2026

People's Emergency Briefing

Throughout Spring and into Summer, community groups across Suffolk have been hosting screenings of the prescient People's Emergency Briefing film and Holbrook Parish Council are hosting a showing of this film on Friday 26th June at 7.00 p.m. 

The People's Emergency Briefing is a powerful new film exploring the climate and nature crisis and what it means for everyday life in the UK. The film brings together leading scientists and experts to examine issues including extreme weather, food security, health and the cost of living.

The film will be followed by a brief discussion.  We hope you can join us!  

There will be no entrance fee, but it would be really helpful if you could let the clerk know if you intend to come along, so that we can make sure we can accommodate everyone:  clerk@holbrookparishcouncil.gov.uk
