What we are achieving

At ICLEI, we empower mayors, county commissioners, council members, and other elected officials to take a strong and proactive stance on climate action. Through ICLEI’s role as the United Nations’ focal point organization on local governments — and initiatives like Cities Forward, Race to Resilience Culture, Cities Race to Zero, and Cities Race to Resilience — we provide a leadership platform that drives meaningful local and global impact.
