Achieve Your Community's
Enviro-Ambitions
ICLEI provides comprehensive climate action tools, support, and networking so that you can deliver tangible results.
Deliver Results with Our Proven Framework
ICLEI’s Five Milestones framework has paved the way for hundreds of communities to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for climate impacts. Following the framework, communities assess their current condition, set a goal, develop a climate or resilience plan, carry out the plan, and monitor for success.
Each year, ICLEI celebrates its members’ success by distributing Milestone Awards to communities advancing through the framework.
Holistic Approach to Sustainability
ICLEI’s Five Pathways, integrated with the Five Milestones, provide a framework for local governments to systemically address their climate priorities.
Address the root causes of inequity and amplify community voices.

Grow Your Network
With over 400 local government members, ICLEI’s network is the foremost association to collaborate and share ideas around local sustainability.
“Our ICLEI memberships have paid dividends far greater than the modest fees required. Beyond the rich library of research and tools to advance climate action, and the networking opportunities with like-minded counterparts in other municipalities; the technical assistance and expert guidance that we received from ICLEI allowed us to leverage internal resources to develop our first GHG inventories under the Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Inventories. With our baseline inventories archived in ClearPath, we are now using it to crunch our data and identify the most impactful strategies to reduce and eliminate carbon emissions. I look forward to increasing our utilization of ICLEI’s expanding capabilities.”
—Rocky Mould, Energy Program Manager for City and County of Honolulu
