How are Scandinavia and Iceland confronting the challenges of climate change? Is there something about the culture or political structure that has put them at the forefront of efforts to reduce human impact on the climate? These questions and more will be the subject of a presentation entitled "Climate Action and Social Democracy--Lessons Learned from the Nordic Countries." Local climate activists Fran and Spence Putnam set out on a five-week, self-designed study tour of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland for a first-hand look at their climate policies. They will tell about it on Thursday, January 23 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm in the Community Room at the Ilsley Library, Middlebury. Free and open to the public.
