Resilient Radnorshire, a recently-formed, New Radnor-based, community group are launching a climate resilience and adaptation project at a public film showing, this coming Tuesday, 14 July.

The Chris Packham-hosted film, ‘The People’s Emergency Briefing' - based on an landmark Westminster gathering of 1200 dignitaries, in November 2025 - sets out in graphic detail the latest findings by leading experts on what climate and nature breakdown is likely to mean for the UK’s health, food systems, national security, and economy.

Resilient Radnorshire founder, Dr Mark Levene said: “The film is very scary and a bit of a shocker with loads of hard scientific evidence not only on what climate change is already doing to people and planet but how it’s going to get much worse in the near future.

“The recent red warning heatwave, with all its fall-out : health stress, wildfires, power grid near-failure, transport breakdown, schools closing, and the declaration of multiple critical incidents in the NHS, is fair warning of what is to come. The only way we can mitigate this is by a rapid and accelerated drive towards a fossil free world. But even if the best forecasts on that front prove successful, in Wales, as elsewhere in the UK, we’re going to have to adapt very fast to what is going to be a climate ’new normal.’

“That’s why Resilient Radnorshire has decided to commission its own local report : ‘ How prepared is the Radnor Valley for extreme climate change?' whose findings we intend to publish in summer 2027."

Resilient Radnorshire has timed the showing of the film to launch its wider project: ‘ Ground Zero 2030 : Towards a Radnor Valley Resilience Plan.'

The group hopes that the film will spark interest in the gravity of the climate emergency and encourage people of all ages, and backgrounds, in the Radnor Valley, and beyond, to join them in further conversations on how best to come together as communities to meet the challenge, strengthen resilience and save lives.
