DUL were involved in a number of activities during the recent UN climate change summit, COP15, in Copenhagen. But some focus was given to extending the event to the streets of Aarhus (Denmark's second largest city) in the shape of "Klimakanalen" (The Climate Channel). With a simple but varied setup -- a mobile urban screen, original content (news flashes, twitter comments, ticker, images, movies, citizen info, advice) and a cross-media infrastructure (app, mobile and web) -- journalists, citizens and activists brought the event and the theme of climate change to Aarhus as well.

Apart from the DUL partners IMV and UPDATE, external partners in the project include: JP.dk (Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten), Aarhus Municipality (Teknik og Miljø + Biblioteker & Borgerservice), 3 (the mobile telco), and the Alexandra Institute.
