Have you heard of COP15, the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen? [Yes/No] Yes!

Do you think that climate change affects you in your daily life? If so how?

Yes. Less snow during the winter.

What do you see as the most severe problems for the climate?

Rising sea levels.

Do you personally feel any responsibility for the climate and are there any things you can do to contribute to a better climate?

I do feel responsible for the climate, but I don’t feel that I am responsible for the current situation. I see my contribution only in the long run. And this by buying environmental friendly cars, fridges etc. But those are things I can’t change right now.

How do you think our built environment affects climate? What should we change in our built environment to help prevent climate change?

Yes, our built environment affects the climate. E.g. Tall buildings will block the wind and therefore the temperature within a city will rise by about 2 degree within the city compared to outside. There should be a lot more green areas within the cities.
