Dear Parents/Carers
Richard Lander School is to host a screening of the ‘National Emergency Briefing’. The National Emergency Briefing is the result of leading experts and concerned citizens joining forces to encourage UK decision-makers to step up their response to the escalating climate and nature crisis.
Leading experts have collaborated as they feel it is time for government to give a live emergency briefing on the climate and nature crisis. This new film, presented by Chris Packham, is screening in communities and workplaces across the UK to raise awareness and build public support for a government-led briefing.
All schools within Cornwall declared a Climate Emergency back in 2019, which has informed school policy in directly tackling the issues surrounding the climate and nature crisis. We feel that we can do more to increase awareness within our parent body, so would like to offer a screening at Richard Lander School where we will also have a Climate Science advisor for the United Nations leading a panel of experts for Q and A after the screening. The film itself is 50 minutes, with a short break before a roughly 30 minute Q and A session, with refreshments available on site from our ‘Lander 4 Uganda’ fundraising team.
A link to the briefings website is as follows: https://www.nebriefing.org/
It is stipulated that the screening is for over 16s, so this is an adult only screening.
We are hosting on Friday 23rd October 2026: Doors will open at 5:45pm, with the screening beginning at 6:00pm, finishing around 7:30pm.
