About this event

Community • City & Town

On the 18th of November, whilst global leaders meet at COP in Brazil, the Council, partners, businesses and organisations involved in delivering change are invited to come together for the first time as the Climate and Nature Network (BANES CANN).

Delivering for the Climate and Ecological Emergencies needs the collective efforts of civic partners, businesses, community groups and residents to address the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead at a local level.

We're starting with the BANES CANN Forum. We'll showcase where we are today and discuss 3 key areas: the journey to becoming low-carbon and nature positive, building resilience, and innovating for the future. We'll focus on what steps businesses and community groups can take - regardless of their size or where they are based -to bring about a low-carbon and nature positive area that meets everyone’s needs. ​

As the Council updates its climate and nature plans into one combined strategy, the audience will also have the opportunity to shape the direction this will take and discuss what is needed to make it a reality that benefits the long-term wellbeing of our communities and where we live.


Getting Here

To reduce the cabon impact of our event we would urge you to use public transport where possible. The Guildhall is a 10 minute walk up from Bath Spa Rail Station, and Bath Bus Station. If you're driving, Bath offers three Park & Ride services on the outskirts of the city, providing a more sustainable and hassle-free way to reach the centre. Limited paid parking is also available in central Bath for those who need it.


Accessibility

We're committed to making this event as accessible as possible. Please do let us know when booking if you require any specific adjustments.

We have set aside a room at the Guildhall to be used as a quiet or private space, for example for prayer, breastfeeding parents or neurodiverse needs. To manage this space and try to accomodate everyone, please do let us know if this would be something you might require.

Most of Bath's car parks have Blue Badge parking bays, and there are some on-street Blue Badge spaces near the Guildhall.
