MP Jeremy Corbyn is set to come to Bristol next month to speak at a climate summit.
The former Labour leader will appear alongside South African activist Trevor Ngwane for an event organised by Bristol Climate Justice Coalition. This summit hopes to unite "individuals, groups, union organisations, all committed to fighting for a sustainable world".
His last appearance in Bristol was at a rally on College Green back in 2019 where approximately 1,000 people gathered to hear the then Labour Party Leader speak. He visited the city as part of the General Election campaign trail. His brother, Piers Corbyn, appeared before a court in Bristol last year accused of a Covid rule breach.

Ticketholders will hear local, national and international figures key to the environmental movement talk on vital matters related to the global climate crisis. They will also be invited part in debates, forums and discussions on how to "optimise the fight" against the climate breakdown and for a better future.
There will also be a number of workshops as part of the event, focusing on the subjects such as 'Climate strategy and just transition', 'The Global South and Climate Justice' and 'Energy, war and climate'.
Other speakers attending the event include Seb Munoz (War on Want), Jean Blaylock (Global Justice Now) Suzanne Jeffrey (Campaign against Climate Change), Steve Clarke (Bristol Against Airport Expansion) Alina Sladkierwicz (XR Youth) and Gareth Lowe (UNITE South West).
