Description

ICLEI is an association of over 1,200 local governments that represents the interests of local authorities within the United Nations and at international policy forums. A movement driving positive change on a global scale through programmes and campaigns on local sustainability. A resource centre offering information, tools, networking, training and consulting services. ICLEI is the only network of sustainable cities operating worldwide. The organisation facilitates local government input to United Nations (UN), processes such as the UN Framework Conventions on Climate Change, and Biodiversity. In partnership with the UN and other organisations, as well as national governments, ICLEI puts in the groundwork for more ambitious and more responsible international commitments - and seeks global recognition and support for local action.
