“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 you even know how to measure your current levels? That's where an organization called ICLEI — Local Governments for Sustainability can help.”
--From the article “Mayors Take the Lead” in Newsweek’s 2007 Earth Day issue
Mission
To build, serve and drive a movement of local
governments to advance deep reductions in
greenhouse gas emissions and achieve tangible
improvements in local sustainability.
