* The discussion will be in Icelandic.<\/em><\/p>\n

Too often the challenge with mitigating the ecological crisis is not a lack of solutions, but a lack of political will. Moreover, the discussion around the crisis often focuses on the responsibility of individuals and their choices, instead of the political-, economic- and social structures behind the issue. Most people agree that climate change is a huge threat, and that we need to do more, but we have a harder time agreeing on what kind of action to take. How can we address these conflicts and collectively work for a better future? How can we put pressure on politicians to do more? And what alternatives are there if representative democracy comes short?<\/p>\n

Participating in the discussion are Au\u00f0ur \u00d6nnu Magn\u00fasd\u00f3ttir<\/strong>, director of the Icelandic Environment Association, \u00deorger\u00f0ur Mar\u00eda \u00deorbjarnard\u00f3ttir<\/strong>, former chair of Ungir umhverfissinnar and environmental activist, Bjartmar Oddur \u00deeyr Alexandersson<\/strong>, investigative journalist in environmental issues, and Katr\u00edn Oddsd\u00f3ttir<\/strong>, lawyer and expert in the Constitutional reform.<\/p>\n

Valur Grettisson<\/strong>, editor-in-chief at Reykjavik Grapevine, will moderate the discussion.<\/p>\n

\"\"Still from “The Laxa Farmers” (2013, dir. Gr\u00edmur H\u00e1konarson), a documentary about an act of civil disobedience in 1970 that has been said to mark the birth of environmentalism in Iceland.<\/em><\/h5>\n
