UN City Copenhagen comprises two campuses with a total of 2,000 employees. Campus 1 opened in 2013 and houses 1,600 employees from 108 different countries working in 11 different agencies.
UN City Campus 1 is one of the most sustainable buildings of its kind in Scandinavia. It has received a Platinum LEED certificate and the European Commission’s Green Building Award for New Buildings. The building has been designed to use at least 55 per cent less energy than an office building of similar size and thus contributes to the UN’s mission of making operations more energy efficient.
The roof of UN City is white and made of recyclable, plant-based materials that reflect the sunlight and reduce the temperature inside the building. 1,400 solar panels are scattered across the roof and the building’s facade, ensuring that renewable energy plays a vital role in running the building.
In doing so, UN City uses less air conditioning, emitting fewer greenhouse gases. In addition, features have been added on the roof and on other parts of the building to collect and store rainwater, reducing water usage and helping flush the building’s toilets.
The UN City building supports the reform efforts in the UN system, including the One UN approach, which supports a more coordinated, efficient and collaborative UN system.
Gathering the organisations in the same building (Campus 1) not only saves the organisations money for administration and running costs, but also facilitates and enhances cross-organisational learning and cooperation.
The 11 UN entities resident in UN City vary in size and mandate. We do however share a common agenda: to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
The Goals build on the Millennium Development Goals and outline a universal, integrated and transformative vision for a better world, where no-one is left behind.
We hope you will find UN City an inspiring and interesting work place. A place where you can contribute to making a difference for the world while growing personally and professionally.
Again, we wish you a warm welcome!
