Climate Advocates championed Challenge Europe projects at Nordic Climate Solutions PDF Print E-mail

Nordic Climate Solutions took place at the Bella Centre in Copenhagen only three months before the Centre is to host COP15. The conference provided an important networking opportunity for businesses, politicians, researchers and Climate Advocates concerned with climate change.

As the name suggests, Nordic Climate Solutions emphasised ways to accelerate the change to a low carbon future – right here, right now – moving beyond the years old rhetoric of “yes, there is a problem, and yes, we need to do something about it.” The conference was all about solutions and tried to be bold in its approach – just as Challenge Europe Climate Advocates are in their endeavours.
