TRAVEL
The walk to WMU and Malmö Live from the train station is less than five minutes. Exit the main entrance of the train station to reach the area where the buses load. Turn to your right and head towards the yellow building that says Malmö Börshus. Cross the street and head left. Turn to your right before you cross the canal. As you walk forward along the canal, the tower of the WMU building will come into view. Take the foot bridge across the water and continue along the canal until you reach the WMU main entrance. Malmö Live is located just across the street from WMU. Look for the tall white tower.

Climate Neutral Travel
You can offset your travel and take responsibility for your travel footprint by using UN-certified emissions reductions though the UNFCC Climate Neutral Now initiative. Emission reductions are created by projects that either remove emissions from the atmosphere, for example, by absorbing carbon dioxide in trees, or avoid creation of new emissions, for example, by replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy.
