On the eve of the Conservative Party national conference, people from around the UK will join Christian Aid, Tearfund and Cafod for a day of learning, campaigning and worship on the issues of climate change and global poverty.   

This Bearing Witness event occurs on the eve of the Conservative Party conference. Speakers from around the world will come together to discuss global issues with a focus on the damaging effects of climate change on the world's poorest communities.
