One of the services ICLEI provides for members is media and
communications assistance. Each member is encouraged to designate a
Media Liaison to ICLEI, and this person will receive frequent updates
on media opportunities from the ICLEI Communications Team including
press release templates.
The Media Support section of the
Action Center, currently under development, will be the clearinghouse
of media and communications related support for ICLEI members.
In the meantime, if you are an ICLEI member but have not yet designated a Media Liaison, please email annie.strickler@iclei.org.
You can also search all of ICLEI’s press releases or read the latest climate and sustainability news.

- June 2008 – Federal Climate Policy Template Opinion Editorial (op-ed)
In early June, the best shot at federal climate policy -- in the form of the Climate Security Act sponsored by Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) and John Warner (R-VA) – reached a dead end in the US Senate. Yet the vote showed that the incredible momentum that has swept the country in recent years has finally penetrated Washington, D.C. A clear message for ICLEI members to carry: Local government leadership has been and will continue to be critical as we craft a comprehensive, meaningful response to climate change. Please consider using this template op-ed with your local media.
