South Central Region
Welcome!
ICLEI is now able to provide enhanced support to its members in the South Central region through our South Central Regional Capacity Center in Houston, Texas, which opened in the fall of 2007.
Hosted in the offices of the City of Houston, ICLEI staff is charged to provide stronger technical assistance to cities and counties in the region and to support the growing leadership from mayors and local governments to deliver solutions that will bring cleaner air, climate protection, and sustainability to their communities.
The South Central RCC serves ICLEI members in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.
In Texas, local governments have demonstrated their collective power
to demand better solutions through the work of the Texas Clean Air
Cities Coalition, involving more than 20 Texas communities who have
been successful in blocking plans to build 11 large and dirty coal
fired power plants in Texas. ICLEI will continue to support this
leadership in Texas, as cities work to ensure the energy needs of their
communities are addressed by cleaner alternatives.
ICLEI was
able to open its Regional Capacity Center through the generous support
from the Houston Endowment and the Meadows Foundation.
Thank you also to North Little Rock, Arkansas, Mayor Patrick Hays for representing the region on the ICLEI USA Board of Directors.
