The [United Nations Climate Change Conference](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zava) (or COP15) is about to take place in Copenhagen, so it's no wonder that the city is incorporating eco-friendly elements into its urban landscape.

On the footsteps of [Copenhagen's pedal-powered city hall Christmas tree](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/copenhagen-christmas-tree) are special solar-powered street lamps that will light the way to the United Nations Climate Change Conference. The lamps are architecture firm 3XN's 'Gotham' luminaires. Seven of these solar-powered LED lightsâ€”which produce more energy than they useâ€”will be installed at the Bella Center where the conference will take place.
