The National Emergency Briefing is a landmark initiative bringing the latest climate and nature science out of Westminster and into communities across the UK. Last November, ten of the country's leading experts briefed over 1,200 politicians and public figures on what the climate and nature crisis means for our food, health, economy, and security. Now a compelling 45-minute documentary captures that evidence — and we're proud to be screening it across northern Devon.

This isn't a film designed to frighten or overwhelm. It's an opportunity for neighbours, local leaders, and MPs to sit together, look at the same evidence, and think about what comes next. And here in northern Devon, there's already plenty of reason for hope — local groups and organisations are doing brilliant work across wildlife, food, energy, and more. Screenings are a chance to get informed, get connected, and find your place in that picture.

The Barnstaple screening will be held at Barnstaple Library as part of The North Devon and Torridge Climate Forum, a community-led initiative holding quarterly meetings to discuss local climate action, sustainable development, and environmental policies

All film screenings are free and open to everyone — whether you're already passionate about the natural world or simply want to understand what's going on. Follow us for updates as we’ll have more dates and venues to follow.
