A day for trees, awnings, courtyards, verandas, porches, fans, and the practical genius of escaping heat.
The anniversary of the founding of the United Nations in 1945, and Norway is one of the founding members. The first Secretary-General of the United Nations was Trygve Lie, a Norwegian, and the country has been a steadfast supporter of the UN ever since. Norway is one of the largest contributors to foreign aid per capita, giving over 1 percent of gross national income, and the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo on December 10. The day is observed with ceremonies and the reminder that Norway, a country of 5.5 million people, has an outsized influence on the world stage.
