Danish prostitutes are offering their services free of charge to delegates at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.

According to Spiegelonline, the offer is being made in protest against Copenhagen city council's anti-prostitution scheme.

The council had postcards sent to hotels saying: "Dear hotel owner, we would like to urge you not to arrange contacts between hotel guests and prostitutes."

The move has angered members of a Danish sex workers association.

The association's Susanne Moeller says all conference delegates can now use the postcards as payment for prostitutes' services.

The Climate Change Conference takes place from December 7-18.
