ICLEI, or Local Governments for Sustainability, is a global network of over 2,500 local and regional governments committed to sustainable urban development. Founded in 1990, ICLEI works across 125+ countries to drive local action for zero-emission, nature-based, equitable, resilient, and circular development. The organization supports local governments in implementing sustainable development policies and projects, focusing on climate action, biodiversity, and sustainable urban planning. ICLEI's approach is based on peer exchange, partnerships, and capacity building to create systemic change for urban sustainability. The network provides technical consulting, tools, and programs to help local governments identify and meet sustainability objectives. ICLEI also plays a crucial role in bridging local initiatives with global frameworks, such as the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. In Europe, ICLEI works closely with the European Commission, the Committee of the Regions, and other European networks to support local governments in implementing the European Green Deal. The organization has a strong presence in Europe, with offices in Freiburg, Berlin, and Brussels, and works with over 160 in-house sustainability and communications professionals. ICLEI's European Secretariat supports local governments in building more resilient and equitable communities, showcasing sustainable development successes, and promoting innovative and vital work of its member cities.
