16 Dec 2009 | Iceberg unveiled on Bright Green exhibition 

Saturday 12 December Grontmij unveiled a two-metre high iceberg, weighing 3.5 ton. This took place on the business sector's exhibition of the COP15, the Bright Green exhibition.
 
The melting iceberg represents a symbol of the urgent need for action within the climate field. Also, the iceberg illustrates the main theme of the Grontmij exhibition on Bright Green: Water.

Rising of water levels, increased precipitation, flooding and the lack of clean drinking water all constitute serious issues arisen as a consequence of the climate changes. In the years to come, these problems will become increasingly urgent. This is why we at Grontmij have decided to put sustainable solutions within water and energy on the agenda.

At Saturday's official opening of the stand, the iceberg was unveiled in the presence of the Ambassador of the Netherlands to Denmark, Mr Niek van Zutphen, and executives from 50 companies.

Bold solutions
Under the heading ”Oceans of bold solutions for a blue planet”, the Grontmij stand presented 48 innovative and challenging bids for solutions to the world's climate challenges.
