The International Connection
ICLEI (International Council for Local Environmental
Initiatives) is facilitating the Local Government input and preparations
for the World Summit
on Sustainable Development (Johannesburg August 2002) with
the support of the UN Summit Secretariat and in partnership with
major international associations of local governments.
The ICLEI
reveals the "think globally, act locally" scheme of
"sustainable development. It says:
ICLEI is the international environmental
agency for local governments.
ICLEI's mission is to build and serve a worldwide
movement of local governments to achieve tangible improvements
in global environmental and sustainable development conditions
through cumulative local actions.
Building a worldwide movement requires that
ICLEI functions as a democratic, international association of
local governments. Serving a worldwide movement requires that
ICLEI operates as an international environmental agency for
local governments.
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 to work towards its environmental
and sustainable development goals.
