Ida has begun to work with projects that aim to inspire and empower civil society for the climate conference in Copenhagen in December – COP 15. One project involves religious communities in an ‘inter-religious’ pilgrimage. This is expected to send a strong message to the politicians about how religions can come together in the fight for a sustainable world. Another projects aims to find accommodation for some of the NGO’s from all over the world, who currently don’t have a place to stay. Ida has a Master in Comparative Literature and Modern Culture at the University of Copenhagen. She believes that we need a broader focus in the climate debate if we want to involve all parts of society and thus reach more well-planned initiatives.
 
 
 
Project Better Place developed from the realisation that vehicle emissions accounted for a growing portion of the world’s carbon footprint and the changing climate and diminishing supplies of fossil fuels required a major shift to low emission vehicles.
