UN Climate Neutral Network: New Partnerships for a Low-Carbon Future
2009/10/05
From cities to cooperatives and from railways to postal services, industry and civil society associations have pledged to significantly reduce their carbon footprint and promote greener living by joining the Climate Neutral Network led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The announcement comes on Go Carbon Neutral Day held as part of Global Climate Week (21-25 September) marked by synchronized action in close to 100 cities to urge world leaders to seal a fair and effective climate agreement at the UN Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen this December.
ICLEI is one of the many organizations which have pledged support to this initiative. “As the largest global network of local governments dedicated to sustainable development, ICLEI is pleased to partner with UNEP on the Climate Neutral Cities component of the Climate Neutral Network. We are proud to share our 18-year experience in local climate action planning and to motivate our member cities to go down the path towards climate neutrality,” said Konrad Otto-Zimmermann, ICLEI Secretary General.
