In the 11 June 2026 edition of Quake! published by Britain Yearly Meeting, there is an article Quakers back national film campaign to spark climate action and justice:
Quakers in Britain are supporting a new national film initiative aimed at helping the UK public better understand the scale and urgency of the climate and nature crisis.
The film, produced by the National Emergency Briefing (nebriefing.org), is being screened in communities across the UK by Quakers and other organisations.
It sets out the risks of climate breakdown alongside practical, hopeful solutions, in an accessible format designed to inform and inspire public engagement.
Quakers say their involvement is driven by deeply held faith values: a commitment to truth, equality and care for the Earth.
“As Quakers, we believe everyone matters and that we have a shared responsibility to care for one another and the world we live in,” said Tanya Jones, climate justice lead for Quakers in Britain. “That means telling the truth about the climate and nature crisis and acting on it.”
In Cornwall, links to National Emergency Briefing showings have been shared, and many Friends have already attended some of these. On June 6 at Trinity Church, St Austell, there were over 100 people in the church including quite a few Quakers, and an atmosphere of enthusiasm to “do something”.
I have joined CASA (Climate Action St Austell) and feel very pleased to have met so many people interested in this topic. It seems important for the sake of the Earth, for us to form smaller, local groups, develop emergency plans, and increase our efforts to grow local food. https://www.climateactionstaustell.org/
Most of all, we need to get to know our neighbours more closely. I was chatting to a neighbour this afternoon. We were talking about the alarming temperatures forecast for mid-June, and then we saw a great spotted woodpecker in the garden. Life can be difficult and quite thrilling at the same time.
