Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 1 Nov, 17:02 · Archive

More than 100 people attended a screening of The People's Emergency Briefing in Wantage on 2 October. The 50-minute film was organised by 13 community groups and explored the impacts of climate change on food security, health and national security. A discussion session followed the screening, led by the Climate Psychology Alliance.

Jo Harvey from Sustainable Wantage said the film contained difficult messages. She quoted from it: 'the weather we live in today is the least extreme climate we'll experience in our lifetimes.' She added that understanding what is coming is necessary to prepare for it, and that responding to the situation requires collaboration across political differences.

Pamela Roscoe from Vale Community Impact said she found the scale of the crisis overwhelming, particularly because it is already affecting people's lives rather than being a distant concern. The MP for Didcot and Wantage supported the event and shared a video message urging stronger government action on climate change.
