Clubbers and environmentalists are joining forces to combat climate change.

There will be climate-themed cocktails at the Can't Stand The Heat - Climate Club Night organised by Brighton and Hove environmental groups.

Music lovers arriving in climate-inspired fancy dress will be able to add their name to the new Friends of the Earth Big Ask Campaign. The charity is collecting signatures to petition the Government for a new law which will force ministers to examine the issue of climate change every year.

Money raised at the Volks Club in Madeira Drive, Brighton, on Wednesday will go toward environmental campaigns in the area with the help of Friends of Sussex and Brighton Universities Environmental Societies Coalition and Brighton Peace and Environment Centre.
