Train to Copenhagen [1] is an international communications campaign organised in connection with the United Nations Climate Change Conferance, COP15, which will take place in Copenhagen in December 2009.
The objectives are to promote an agreement on climate change in Copenhagen and to increase the awareness, among the delegates and media, of the transportation sector’s impact on climate change. Ensuring that rail is accepted as a solution to curb CO2 growth by actually demonstrating that a train trip is a low carbon alternative to other modes of transportation.
The International Union of Railways, UIC ([1]) - www.uic.org - and its Train to Copenhagen partners have providing a framework for the campaign, including a cooperation with UN and its Seal the Deal-campaign, and are encouraging the UIC members to organize national campaigns.
A central elements of the campaign is the Climate Express running from Brussels to Copenhagen on 5 December, a 12-hour on-track conference about transport and climate change with decision makers, NGOs, experts and journalists on board.
