Greenpeace Exeter is hosting a town hall event focussed on the cost of living and climate crises on Sunday 20 November at Exeter Community Centre.

There will be a presentation and discussion following the screening of a short film made by Greenpeace UK and the New Economics Foundation.

The Cost of Living highlights the impact of energy price increases on the community in Rother Valley, South Yorkshire.

It explores the ways that investment in renewable energy, insulation of homes and green energy skills and training could help ease both cost of living and climate crises.
