Inform. Inspire. Lead.

Be part of a network of local governments working together to advance climate protection and sustainable development. As a member of ICLEI, you will inform and inspire innovative solutions and lead the way to cleaner, healthier, economically viable communities.

“Embarking on an environmental program sounds like a great idea. But if you’re a mayor trying to cut greenhouse gases, where do you begin? How do even know how to measure your current levels? That’s where an organization called ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability can help.”

 – Newsweek, Leadership and the Environment issue, April 16, 2007
