What ICLEI does:

We support a network of local

governments and cities on the local,

regional, national and international levels.

We force partnerships or alliances, engage

thinks and academics, join forces with the

business sector, work jointly on pilot

projects, and initiatives.

Finding integrated solutions

We provide technical consulting, information

services and training to build capacity, share

knowledge and support local governments.

Connecting people

Accelerating action


● Strengthen the role of mobility in a climate context

● Using climate relevant tools also in terms of mobility

● Using integrated management approaches

to combine mobility, climate,

sustainability
