There are an abundance of well-established activities on climate change. Here we list but a few of our friends to inspire you to participate and contribute!

	PlanetCall is a campaign aiming to mobilize youth from around the world in the fight against climate change. The goal is to gather signatures from up to 1 million young people that will be presented at COP15. At PlanetCall.org, youth can sign the Declaration; they can also post a "Call," their personal vision of the sustainable solutions they would embrace and like to see implemented, watch exclusive solutions-oriented videos, and network with other like-minded young people. Please visit www.PlanetCall.org and join us on Facebook.
	WOFIE stands for Workshop for Innovation and Entrepreneurship and is an educational offer for Candidate- and Postgraduate students and Master- and PhD. students from all institutes and faculties at Aalborg University. The main concept and unique thing about WOFIE is simultaneous education to multiple locations. All courses are live-streamed from a central location and thereby gives the participants the same knowledge at the same time, even though they are in different cities. The purpose of WOFIE 2009 is to give the students knowledge about how interdisciplinary idea-development can lead to innovative concepts and strategies with business potential. So in light of the theme, this year’s participants will have to develop their concepts and base their solutions on energy- and climate challenges. This year the theme of WOFIE is CLIMATE and the environmental challenges the world faces today. The subject is chosen in the light of the forthcoming United Nations Environmental Conference, COP15, which will take place in Copenhagen in December 2009. http://www.wofie.aau.dk/
	The conference "Joint Actions on Climate Change" takes place from the 8-10 of June 2009 in Aalborg, Denmark. It is a joint endeavour bringing together five conferences in the field: European Roundtable for Sustainable Consumption and Production, The Greening of Industry Network; SCORE!; Nordic Life Cycle Association, and Euro Sustainability. After 15 years of separate growth, it is now time to join forces to bring action and consensus on solutions. The conference welcomes all stakeholders involved in developing solutions to climate change, including Governments, industry, retailers, researchers as well as NGOs, consumer organisations and the financial sector. Bringing together different stakeholders and research disciplines will help fostering a fruitful dialogue and bridging gaps in views and positions. http://www.jaocc.net/
	The Danish chapter of Energy Crossroads has been actively planning for the events surrounding the UN Climate Summit (COP15), which will take place in Copenhagen in December of 2009. In anticipation of the main event, Energy Crossroads is hosting a range of activities in Denmark in order to create a community in support of clean energy and to get the word out; youth deserve a more clean, a more secure and a more prosperous future. http://www.energycrossroads.org/
	This is the first time ever that a music- and artfestival runs entirely on renewable energy. Co2penhagen takes place at Denmark’s Technical University just outside Copenhagen on September 4-6 2009, with 3000 visitors expected every day. The goal is to visualize the knowledge already present at technical universities and spotlight businesses’ green products. It all takes place in a CO2-neutral miniature society surrounded by art and music. The festival is an entertaining event that proves that green energy can coincide with great design. Renewable energy is more than solar panels and windmills. Co2penhagen is developed through collaborations between businesses, local and international artists and Danish students. Students at Denmark’s Technical University are some of the main drivers behind the collaboration. http://www.co2penhagen.com/
