Interview: Swiss Ambassador Urs Ziswiler on climate change

Wednesday April 30, 2008
Mitch Wertlieb

Colchester, VT

Vermont has received a number of distinguished visitors from afar recently. The Finnish Ambassador was given a tour of the state by Senator Bernie Sanders, who praised Finland for its economic and social safety programs, and today Switzerland's Ambassador to the United States Urs Ziswiler pays a visit to the University of Vermont.

Ziswiler will speak about climate change, and the strategies the Swiss are looking at to deal with the potential problems associated with global warming.
