System Update: Rebooting our Future

System Update: Rebooting our Future


27 February 2026

A film screening and discussion
with film director Paul Maple and film contributor Laurie Layburn

In an era of accelerating climate change and cascading impacts, System Update is a bold new public documentary film presented by Prof James Dyke of Exeter University, that offers a vital look at how transformative shifts in politics, economics, and society can protect people from climate catastrophe. System Update calls for a reboot of outdated systems that have failed to respond to the climate crisis.

Producers Paul Maple and Professor James Dyke from the Global Systems Institute, University of Exeter, bring together world-leading experts and change-makers to explain why these systemic changes are critical, and how they can be achieved. The film is more than an informative piece; it's a rallying cry for a better future - one in which the majority of people are united in calling for the changes needed to avert disaster.

With contributions from international climate lawyer Farhana Yamin, climate campaigner Manda Brookman, and Max Wakefield of climate action charity Possible. Changing 'The System' is daunting, but what we must it do now. System Update offers insights into how this can be achieved.
