People are carrying, hammering, painting and organising on Rådhuspladsen in Copenhagen. Anyone who visits today may learn about the climate challenges, innovation and technology, and how they can reduce their carbon footprint. Like using a bicycle to light a christmas tree. 

The finishing touches

Amongst the pavillions in the heart of the Climate City of Copenhagen you'll find 101 Solutions - presented by Bellona and Statkraft. Here, too, there is intense activity in the early afternoon of Monday. Furniture needs to be put in place, the last walls must be painted and the final tweeks must be made on the Climate Table, where you can find your own favorite solution to the climate crisis. It's much like the day before Christmas; a lot to do, but we know it'll turn out well. 

City of hope

The electric car is parked in front of the stage where tonight's band is having a sound check. Hectic phone activity indicates that the ministers Erik Solheim and Hanne Bjurstrøm will be in time for the official opening of the pavillion at 18.30 tonight. Half an hour later the whole of Rådhuspladsen will open, under the name of Hopenhagen.

In the middle of the bustling square, a great globe is highlighted with all the countries of the world - as well as a fever. No-one visiting Copenhagen can fail to know what is happening in the city.
