ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability is a global network working with more than 2500 local and regional governments committed to sustainable urban development. Active in 125+ countries, we influence sustainability policy and drive local action for zero emission, nature-based, equitable, resilient and circular development. Our Members and team of experts work together through peer exchange, partnerships and capacity building to create systemic change for urban sustainability.

ICLEI SEAS assists Member local governments by designing, promoting, and drawing external support for programs and campaigns that develop local resiliency and sustainability. We enter partnerships in order to build a regional and national policy environment that strengthens local governments and promotes local sustainability. We bring local government leaders together with experts, industry leaders, academics, and national international agencies for exchanges on potential solutions to a wide range of urban challenges.

ICLEI’s Mission is to build and serve a worldwide movement of local governments to achieve tangible improvements in global sustainability, with special focus on environmental conditions through cumulative local actions.
