Liverpool City Council is hosting a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing, followed by a public discussion on climate resilience and the city’s future. Residents are being encouraged to attend and join the conversation.
Liverpool City Council has announced a public screening of the People's Emergency Briefing, an event focused on the pressing challenges of climate change and nature loss. Scheduled for Tuesday, July 21st, at the Cunard Building, the screening is part of the council's broader climate engagement program. The initiative is designed to provide residents, partners, and stakeholders with a comprehensive understanding of the environmental risks facing the city and its surrounding areas. The film, which draws on evidence presented during the national emergency briefing, features insights from leading United Kingdom experts.
These experts detail how climate change and the degradation of natural ecosystems are already impacting daily life, including health outcomes, critical infrastructure, the local economy, and the stability of communities. By presenting this evidence-based information, the council aims to foster an informed public discussion regarding potential national and local responses to these environmental crises. Following the screening, a facilitated discussion will explore how Liverpool can build on its existing strength and resilience, as well as how it can prepare for future environmental challenges.
The city council emphasizes that it plays a pivotal role in these efforts, particularly through strategic planning, housing, and infrastructure improvements, while simultaneously working to bolster local resilience against issues like extreme heat and flooding. This event reflects the council's commitment to ensuring that members of the public are well-informed as the city navigates the complexities of adapting to a changing climate.
