 * Copenhagen** is among the greenest cities in Europe. This is the conclusion reached by a unique study of the environmental sustainability of 30 major cities in 30 European countries that Siemens presented during the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. Siemens publishes its first [|European Green City Index] which proclaims Copenhagen Europe's greenest city.

It fits well with Copenhagen's ambition to be the [|world's first CO2 neutral capital in 2025]. The goal is for example to build more windmill parks, use green energy and have cars that run on hydrogen or electricity.

Copenhagen has announced its vision to become the world's best city for cyclists. A third of people already cycle to work, school or university. There are about 350 kilometers (217 miles) of cycle routes around the city.

In March 2009 Copenhagen's municipal government outlined its ambitious intention to become the world's first carbon-neutral city by 2025. At City Hall, this carbon-neutral goal is strikingly written on a big footprint on the ground.

2009 Climate Conference
The UN climate conference among 190 nations took place December 7-18, 2009. Environment Ministers are due to attend the final three days, from December 16. The Danish government has budgeted approximately $62 million to host the conference. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_United_Nations_Climate_Change_Conference

[|With the benefit of hindsight: Climate change consensus] - After the climate change talks in Copenhagen in 2009, the world is now looking to the next UN climate change conference, in Paris later this year, for a consensus on how to slash carbon emissions.
