Local and regional governments and ICLEI

Local and regional governments across the ICLEI network are committed to building a sustainable urban future.

The ICLEI network

Local and regional governments across the ICLEI network represent a diversity of cities, towns and regions around the globe. Collectively, they form a dynamic force advancing sustainable urban development worldwide.

The ICLEI Network is made up of our Members, who serve in governance roles, elect our leadership, and engage in ICLEI’s activities, advocacy and mission, and ICLEI Network cities and regions, which are subnational governments actively engaged in ICLEI activities. You can search for these activities in the Activities Database.

Our growing network reaches:

2500+
cities, towns and regions
125+
countries worldwide
25+

HARNESS the power of the ICLEI Network! " Governments need to give (the sense of) direction, as Business leaders we don't make the wind, we sail the boats. So policy should set the winds in the right directions if you want the boat going fast to the right harbor." Philippe Joubert Senior Advisor, World Business Council
