News on preparations and logistics concerning COP15 in Copenhagen Dec09
This is a newsletter on the logistics concerning COP15, regarding what we know so far and what we are planning. Many things haven't been sorted out yet as bureaucracy in Denmark works very slow. This is just a first edition, further information will be send out, when we know more. Don't panic if you arrive in CPH during COP15 not knowing how everything works. Just go to an info-point, the exact spot for the info-points haven't been decided yet.
Best regards,
Logistic-group of Climate Collective, Denmark ( http://www.climatecollective.org)
*********************************************************************************************
I. ACCOMODATION
As it looks right now there are 3 different possibilities concerning
accommodation.
_*1.* Accommodation in public halls:_
For the moment, we are negotiating with the local municipality of Copenhagen and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in order to get access to big halls in the area of Copenhagen to use for accommodation. We are doing it on a non-registration base. We are aiming to provide free accommodation, but we may have to ask for a small fee (around 3-6 Euros) depending on the outcome of the negotiations.
The halls will feature the basics; heat and proper sanitary conditions. Not all halls may have access to showers, but in that case shower locations will be made available elsewhere in the city, although this might include a small user payment.
We don't know yet which halls or how many we will get access to, so the exact places will be communicated out later. You can always just go to an info-point, when you arrive to Denmark to know where accommodation is available. The info-points will always inform on vacancies.
We expect the halls to open for accommodation from when the summit
starts. PLEASE NOTE NOTHING IS CONFIRMED YET.
_*2.* Private accommodation with (random) locals:_
If you want to sleep privately, you can sign up at http://www.newlifecopenhagen.com/
It's an art project, in order to get people together. Everyone within an hour of transportation from Copenhagen can sign up as a host. The host and guest are put together randomly, so you can't choose your host. Go to the website to check out details.
_*3.* Private accommodation with Danish activists:_
If you want to stay with local Danish activists and not go through the general public sign-up (New Life CPH), you are asked to wait some weeks; we will organize this too.
II.FOOD
People's kitchens will be set up on central spots in Copenhagen, such as info-points, sleeping places etc. (exact locations have not yet been decided). We will have to ask for donations, around 20 DKK (2-3 Euros) per meal.
The price level in Denmark is in general high, if you buy a sandwich in a normal sandwich bar, calculate around 30 - 60 DKK (5 - 9 Euros).
III. LEGAL RIGHTS
In the Climate Collective we've created a group working specifically with legal issues, including border support and difficulties, your legal rights in Denmark and on UN territory, and furthermore police authorities to act.
IV. BORDER CONTROL
We strongly recommend you to bring your passport even though you are travelling from a country member of Schengen. People going to the G8-summit in Rostock in 2008 were checked at the Danish/German border and people not possessing a passport were immediately sent
back. We expect the same to happen during the COP15. The legal rights group will have more information concerning this in a few weeks.
V. WHAT TO BRING
- Warm clothes, average temperature in DK in December is between 5 and 0 degrees Celsius, and at night below zero.
- Rain clothes, as it can be raining a lot, but usually snow will not come until January.
- Money to cover food and (maybe) accommodation
- Sleeping bag and sleeping pad (if sleeping privately, ask your host if necessary)
VI. TRANSPORT WITHIN DK
