Marianne Brown The Shetland Way: Community and Climate Crisis on My Father’s Islands

The need for energy to run our world is non-negotiable, but how do we balance that necessity with preserving the natural world and the earth’s resources, and ensuring communities aren’t exploited; especially those that are more deprived?

Following the death of her father, the environmental journalist Marianne Brown was in Shetland organising his affairs when the Covid Lockdown hit, and she will be sharing her experience of discovering a father she barely knew, and learning how the controversy of the proposed installation of wind farms had split the community.

This is movingly laid out in her book The Shetland Way: Community and Climate Crisis on My Father’s Islands.
