• ICLEI World Congress 2012
  30 May-2 June 2012, Belo Horizonte, Brazil

  The ICLEI World Congress 2012 will be held in Belo Horizonte, Brazil from 29 May to 1 June 2012. The ICLEI World Congress takes place every three years and provides Mayors, local government elected officials and staff, representatives from international agencies, national governments, donors and other partners with the opportunity for peer exchanges, knowledge-sharing, capacity building and on-site visits and exhibits.

This will be the first ICLEI World Congress in Latin America and we are excited to welcome participants to this vibrant and dynamic region.  The event will take place just days before the Rio+20 Conference in neighboring Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, marking two decades since the adoption of Agenda 21 and thus the movement of local governments taking up the charge of sustainability.  We encourage all interested parties to attend ICLEI’s World Congress which will be followed by the Rio+20 Conference.
