From December 7th to 18th of this year, Denmark is hosting the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen (COP15). Being a host country for what is possibly the biggest UN conference ever held outside New York and Geneva is a big task. Planning for such a big conference involves representatives of multiple government agencies, academia, NGOs, businesses and many others.
