WELLFLEET — Wellfleet Energy Committee members and others concerned about climate change are gathering at 7 p.m. Monday to discuss how to think globally and act locally, according to an announcement from the nonpartisan Wellfleet Community Forum.

The forum’s “Climate Change Action in Wellfleet” program will feature a discussion about energy conservation, carbon replacement technologies, residential and commercial solar panels and the town’s progress in installing a solar array at the old landfill. The discussion will also include how to move ahead on climate-related aspects of the town’s local comprehensive plan.

A key discussion will be the effort by energy committee member Robert Shapiro to establish a baseline of total fossil fuel use by Wellfleet townspeople, as part of the agreement signed by the Select Board in the summer to join the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy.

The free program and discussion is at the senior center at 715 Old Kings Highway.
