Here are a couple of short videos of speakers that gave lectures during the Road to Copenhagen.

300 participants selected

The names of the participants in the sustainable scooter event The Road to Copenhagen are now known. The organisation has selected 300 Dutch, German and Danish ‘roadies’ who are to ride to the Copenhagen climate summit in stages.

‘Judging by the latest rumours, this will perhaps not result in a legally concluded climate treaty, but hopefully proper agreements will be made concerning the global reduction of CO2’, said Alexandra van Huffelen from the energy utility Essent, the initiator of The Road to Copenhagen. ‘With the manifesto that the participants will write during the electric scooter trip, they want to emphasise the importance of the climate summit, plus draw attention to the contribution that electric transport can make to this. We received a lot of applications for The Road To Copenhagen, which shows that young people wish to make a contribution to a sustainable world.’

UN Climate conference
During the UN climate conference COP15, which will take place in Copenhagen from 7 to 18 December, world leaders will be working on a successor to the Kyoto Protocol.
