Ulverston residents discuss climate concerns at street event

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 17:02 · Archive

Residents in Ulverston shared their views on climate change and environmental issues at a street engagement event held on Saturday. Organisers asked members of the public whether they had noticed more extreme weather in recent years and whether there should be a briefing on climate and nature risks similar to those delivered during the covid pandemic.

Kate Threadgold, one of the organisers, said the activity allowed people to express their concerns 'in an open and non-confrontational way'. The event was part of wider efforts by a group involved with screenings of The National Emergency Briefing, a film on climate and nature breakdown based on a briefing delivered to MPs by nine experts.

The film has been shown three times in Ulverston and twice in Barrow, with another screening planned for Wednesday, 28 October.
