In 2009, almost half a million people living on the frontline of climate change have told their stories at Oxfam’s Climate Hearings.

Now in the final weeks before the all-important Copenhagen summit it is the turn of Londoners to tell their stories and your chance to join the debate.

Oxfam and the London Assembly Environment Committee are working together to host the city’s first climate hearing. Meet Londoners whose families around the globe are facing the consequences of climate change, learn about the impact of the capital’s emissions on communities here, and share your ideas about the positive role that London can play in building a safer, greener future.

There will be drama from Blue Elephant Youth Theatre and a reading from Booker Prize winning Nigerian author Ben Okri.

Oxfam will take London’s stories along with those from people all over the world to the UN climate negotiations at Copenhagen, to back our call for a fair, ambitious and binding deal.

When: 6.30pm, 26 November 2009
Where: The Chamber, City Hall, The Queen’s Walk,
