Living and Working Conditions:

Denmark is located in a temperate climate zone. Average daytime temperatures range from 2 °C (35.6 °F) in January to 20 °C (68 °F) in August. The average wind speed is 7.6 m/s, which explains why Denmark is one of the world’s largest exporters of wind turbines. Rainy days are likely all year round, while snowfall happens occasionally during winter.

The UN City is located at one of Copenhagen’s newest harbor side developments and is just a 30-minute walk from the city Centre. We are also close to Copenhagen’s ferry terminal and only minutes away from the Copenhagen’s main public transport system; with bus 26 located approximately 10 minutes away from the office and Nordhavn train station located approximately 800m from the office.
