The train to Copenhagen project is being organized by the International Union of Railways (UIC) together with the UN's Seal the Deal Campaign and the World Wildlife Fund Conservation Organization, WWF.
Isabelle Valentiny, Spokesperson for the United Nations Environment Programme:
"The train will travel from Brussels to Copenhagen on 5th December at 9 o'clock and will arrive in Copenhagen at 10 pm. We are organizing debates and seminars on climate change, on the influence of the transport sector on board".
Launched by the UN's Environment Programme, UNEP, a one time train link between Kyoto and Copenhagen was launched on November 5th.
The Brussels stop will be that last leg of the Train to Copenhagen Project's journey.
This 9,000 km journey will symbolically join the site of the last global warming pact with what is hoped to be the birthplace of the next major treaty to combat climate change.
