We did good then (we led the world)\, and still\, nothing like good enough.\nIt is time now to step up our Emergency mobilization together. And to invite our elected representatives and all stakeholders to stand with us again.\n\n\nWe will screen a new film featuring Chris Packham\, leading climate and nature scientists\, Prof Kevin Anderson\, a former general\, and Jennifer Saunders – all being frank and open about where things are heading and what can be done about it. \nTrailer: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1EUHctmFKh/\n\nWe will discuss and review the Irish Climate & Nature* Emergency to date and agree the mandate and initial actions we want for stronger\, faster change.\n\nPeople’s Emergency Briefing\n\n Greystones Public Library\, Burnaby Park on Mill Road\n Thurs 21 May 2026\, 7pm\n Free (booking is required\, this may book out rapidly)\nPeople can book a place via email: greylib@wicklowcoco.ie or tel: 01-2873548\n\n 16+\n#PEBie\n#PEBuk\n\nThank you – we are relying on you now\, again\, for all our future.
