National Climate Emergency Briefing

Thornhill Development Trust worked with Forth Environment Link (FEL) on the Thornhill Energy Project. Now, they are bringing you news of an interesting event- The National Emergency Briefing.

FEL is working in partnership with the Macroberts Art Centre in Stirling to host a screening of the National Emergency Briefing on June 17th. Hosted by Chris Packham, this film spells out the risks to both the environment and people of the Climate and Biodiversity Crises, but also provides credible, positive responses available to us to adapt to current climate change and mitigate further, future Climate Change. To attend this FREE screening follow this link: National Emergency Briefing Bookings. To find out more about the national Emergency Briefing use this link: National Emergency Briefing on climate & nature.

Across Forth Valley, there are already many fantastic groups, projects, and events making a positive difference for nature and local communities. FEL’s aim is to celebrate, connect, and support these existing efforts, helping to share ideas, strengthen partnerships, and add value wherever they can.

Or you can join them online to get the scoop on the Biodiversity Festival and how to get involved! There are two sessions available, on June 18th and 22nd, both from 7pm. Follow this link, Forth Valley Biodiversity Festival Ideas & Collaboration Session, to find out more and reserve a spot.
