Copenhagen:
Copenhagen with its almost 1.9 million inhabitants is the capital and largest city of Denmark. Its location right next to the sea makes it one of the most beautiful capitals of Europe. It is also one of Europe’s oldest capitals. The Danish Government has already committed to the move towards sustainable development within a 20-year time frame: it's seen as a world leader in the use of wind-farming technology, and aims for a reduction of the total emission of greenhouse gases by 21% (from the 1990 level) by 2012. By 2020, it will not be allowed to market or use any products containing chemicals that are harmful to health or the environment.

Upon arrival, you will receive a conference package that will include agenda, participants list, interesting information on Denmark and Copenhagen and the planned site visits on Saturday afternoon. At that time, you will have to tell us which site visit you wish to join.
