Last night we hosted a showing of The People’s Emergency Briefing on the climate and nature crisis.
The film focuses on the UK, but the issues it explores apply just as much here in Limousin, France, where most of our audience lives.
What really struck me was the conversation afterwards.
People were shocked by many of the facts laid out in the film, but there was also a real sense of relief: relief at having the evidence brought together so clearly, and at discovering that they weren’t alone in carrying the fear and frustration that comes with watching our climate change, nature disappear and political action fall so far short of what is needed.
It turned into a thoughtful, lively and hopeful discussion about what we can actually do.
Now the challenge is to turn that energy into action — and keep the momentum going.
