UNEP DTU Partnership (formerly UNEP Risø Centre), which is part of DTU Management Engineering, moved to UN City in April 2014. The new UN city building in Nordhavn hosts many of the UN agencies located in Copenhagen. The UN City is part of the new urban development in the North Harbour of Copenhagen, located only a few kilometres north of the city centre.
