From there they made a boat journey to Malm\u00c3\u00b6 in Sweden, and travelled on land again to Copenhagen. Koen told us they were promoting zero carbon transport. They have a facebook group: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/group.php?gid=176272729479\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/group.php?gid=176272729479<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Koen said when they were going from town to town in the go-cart it drew the attention of the people who stopped by to strike a conversation.

It was a bit windy as well, and indeed coming from the equator, it was not a favourable weather for us either. It was wiser to go back inside, where the Klimaforum09 was attracting hundreds of people who were attending various events occurring simultaneously including debates, lectures and exhibitions. Vulnerable, the exhibition on climate change, organized by Bluepeace, is receiving a very warm welcome.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-142\" title=\"IMG_7192\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bluepeacemaldives.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/IMG_7192.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7192\" width=\"475\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluepeacemv.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/IMG_7192.jpg 475w, https:\/\/www.bluepeacemv.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/IMG_7192-300x166.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Klimaforum09 opened on 7 December.
