About this event

Join Paradigm Norton for drinks and nibbles at Arnolfini for a screening of the National Emergency Briefing film, followed by a chaired panel discussion and audience Q&A.

This Bristol screening is for those involved in business, public life and the wider community. It is an eye-opening film bringing together nine leading UK scientists and experts with the latest evidence and why it matters for things like:

🌧️ Extreme weather
🍞 Food security
🏥 Health
đź’· Cost of living

The film is based on the National Emergency Briefing in Westminster (featured by ITV, Channel 4 and The Times) with appearances from Chris Packham, Deborah Meaden, and a range of voices from across the UK. 

It brings together leading UK experts in climate science, nature, health, economics and national security to present a clear, measured overview of the evidence on the risks facing British society and the UK economy. It is explicitly non‑partisan and designed as a shared evidence base for informed discussion. 

Following the screening, we will host a conversation focused on what this evidence means in practice - for organisations, governance, risk,  resilience and decision‑making in the Bristol region. 

The panel discussion will be chaired by Paradigm Norton's CEO, Phillipa Hann, joined by Ross Fairley from Burges Salmon and Lizzi Testani from Bristol Climate & Nature Partnership.

We  hope that local business and civic leaders will join us for this important discussion about our future. We're really pleased that this event is also being supported by Burges Salmon, Arnolfini, Parmenion and Bristol B Corp Network.

Seats are limited so please book in advance. The venue is wheelchair accessible and has a hearing loop. The film has subtitles. Please let us know if you have any access requirements to fully participate. 

Bring a friend, neighbour or family member: everyone is welcome. (16+)

All ticket proceeds will be going to the Global Returns Project (GRP) who support climate and nature charities. Tickets include drinks and nibbles from Wiper and True, an independent craft brewery based in Bristol. We wouldn't want the cost to be a barrier to anyone seeing this film, please email events@pnfp.co.uk and we can help with tickets.
