The new UN City complex in Copenhagen, which forms the central location for 8 United Nations organizations based in Copenhagen, demonstrates the UN’s commitment to promote environmental sustainability trough green building.

When United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon attended UN City’s official opening in July 2013, he called the “beautiful and inspiring” new complex “a shining example” for creating a more efficient, coherent and carbon neutral UN.

The building received the European Commission’s Green Building Award in 2012, and recently became the first United Nations complex to receive the platinum-certificate with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).
