In our urban era, the way cities and their surrounding regions
grow, develop and change will play a decisive role in global
development. Today, ICLEI is leveraging the power of our
network to ensure urban sustainability delivers on the goals
and aspirations of the global sustainable development agenda.
Our growing network of more than 1,500 local and regional
governments worldwide represent small, large and often fast
growing cities, vast metropolitan areas, provinces and regions. ICLEI
embodies the diversity of the urban world, and the challenges and
opportunities it presents us.
