Turning Words into Action, Promises into Solutions

We are building the Action Center to be a central and complete source of information for local governments working on climate protection and sustainability. Please note that some of these resources will be available only to members of ICLEI.

Share Your Knowledge

Contribute Resources to the ICLEI USA Action Center

As we develop the Action Center, there will be enhanced functionality that allows anyone to upload resources so that we capture the full breadth of information available and directly applicable to local governments.

In the meantime, if you have a resource that you would like to share on the ICLEI site please contact Annie Strickler at annie.strickler@iclei.org or 510.844.0699 x328.
