General benefits of Full Membership include:
Campaign and Project Participation
ICLEI Members not only have the opportunity to participate in ICLEI's international campaigns and programs (Local Agenda 21, Cities for Climate Protection, Water Campaign, Sustainability Management, Sustainable Procurement) and international and regional projects but also enjoy the opportunity to play a role in the design and pilot phases of these campaigns and projects.
Publications, Tools, and Workshops-Free of Cost or Greatly Discounted
ICLEI produces diverse publications and tools to help Members with their work. ICLEI publications are free to ICLEI Members. ICLEI Members also have exclusive access, at no cost, to all ICLEI publications electronically via the Members-only area of ICLEI's website.
National and International Network of Peers
ICLEI members are part of a worldwide network of local government representatives that are tackling similar environmental management and sustainability challenges. They meet at workshops, seminars, and conferences around the world, and through electronic conferences on the website.
National and International Recognition for Work
Full Members earn national and international recognition for their work at both ICLEI conferences and through participation with ICLEI in numerous UN events (Conference of Parties [COP], Commission on Sustainable Development, etc).
Travel Funding to International Meetings
Funded international travel is provided to ICLEI Members as it is available. For example, in November 2003, ICLEI with the support and partnership of the Coalition of 21 Municipalities, Greece, held the World Congress of Local Governments and ICLEI Council meeting in Athens, Greece. ICLEI Member cities who met certain criteria, received full travel funding for this event.
Grant Opportunities
ICLEI is often made aware of funding opportunities and seeks to direct funders to Members, and Members to funders, where there is a match.
