The new UN City in Copenhagen  was inaugurated during an official ceremony in the beginning of July by Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II together with the UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, the Prime Minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Villy Søvndal, the Lord Mayor of Copenhagen, Frank Jensen and the Minister for Development Cooperation, Christian Friis Bach.

Denmark has hosted UN organizations for more than 50 years; however, this is the first time that they are located on the same premises.
The new UN City enhances efficiency and foster collaboration between the organizations and improve their ability to deliver results on the ground. Through hosting the UN organisations in Copenhagen, the Danish Government contributes to strengthening the UN and the UN’s achievements.

The new UN City in Copenhagen consists of state of the art office facilities and a high-tech warehouse in Copenhagen's north harbour district. The office complex has been constructed to low-energy class 1 standards, which is partly reflected in the installation of solar panels, and as such is a state-of-the-art building in the energy and climate field.

The main office building has more than 90 meeting rooms including a number of flexible rooms on each floor that staff can use for various purposes. The auditorium is a conference facility with a total capacity of 450 people. UNICEF’s  Supply Division, located at UN City, Campus 2, is home to the largest humanitarian warehouse in the world.
