The COP15 Cycling Tour May 23 to May 31 2009The COP15 Cycling Tour carries a message of sustainability and responsibility for the environment. Cycling is friendly to the environment and participation in this tour highlights your personal efforts and support to combat climate change.
We wish to carry this message from Kyoto to Copenhagen; from the framework of the Kyoto Protocol to a new framework to be established at the COP15 – United Nations Climate Change Conference – in Copenhagen. The COP15 Cycling Tour is organized by the Embassy of Denmark, Tokyo and the Japan Cycling Association, and takes place at the following 8 locations:
* Tokyo, May 23rd * Anjo City, May 24th * Fukushima, May 25th * Sapporo, May 26th * Miyazaki, May 28th * Hiroshima, May 29th * Imabari/Shimanami, May 30th * Wakayama/Kyoto, May 31st * Copenhagen, June 14th
At each location there will be events and exhibitions focusing on cycling, sustainable development and climate change.
Carbon Neutral We aim to make the whole Cycling Tour carbon neutral. To help us we have formed a partnership with E-Square Inc., which specializes in carbon neutral events. E-Square will calculate the CO2 produced during the COP15 Cycling Tour and the Embassy plan to invest in Certified Emission Reduction projects to offset the amount of CO2 produced.
