ICLEI
is the international environmental agency for local governments.
ICLEI's mission is to build and serve a worldwide movement of local

as a democratic, international association of local governments.
Serving a worldwide movement requires that ICLEI operates as an

More
than 400 cities, towns, counties, and their associations from around
the world are full Members of the Council, with hundreds of additional
local governments participating in specific ICLEI campaigns and
projects. As a movement, association, and agency, ICLEI continues

of basic services to the community, in the management and utilization
of local resources, in the individual pursuit of developmental programs,
and in the furtherance of their corporate structure.
