Take the train to the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009 in Copenhagen says the International Union of Railways
The Train to Copenhagen team has one goal: bringing people to Copenhagen and bringing COP15 to the people. Taking the train is part of the solution in combating global warming. “Trains are the most environmentally friendly mode of transport”, says the UIC, “so why would you travel by any other means to the one event in 2009 that can make a difference to the planet’s future?”
The International Union of Railways (UIC) and its members and partners are organizing the Climate Express from Brussels to Copenhagen on 5 December, a 12-hour on-track conference about transport and climate change where the aim will be to find out how we can solve the challenges posed by the transport sector with regard to global warming.
Events will be organized all over the world as part of this project to show how you can travel in a sustainable way. Says the UIC: “Be an ecopassenger and join the train to Copenhagen!”
The Train to Copenhagen is a project developed and led by the International Union of Railways (UIC) – the global organisation for railway companies. UIC has 199 member companies on five continents and is among others working to continuously improve the environmental and sustainability performance of the rail sector. UIC’s mission is to promote rail transport at world level and meet the challenges of mobility and sustainable development.
The Train to Copenhagen-communications campaign is also supported by the rail sector organisations in Brussels: the Community of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies (CER) and the European Infrastructure Managers (EIM).
