1. Supporting the work of mayors and other local government leaders through climate action tools, technical and communications assistance, and peer networking www.icleiusa.org

2. “Embarking on an environmental program sounds like a great idea. But if you're a mayor trying to cut greenhouse gases, where do you begin? How do you even know how to measure your current levels? That's where an organization called ICLEI — Local Governments for Sustainability can help.” -- From the article “Mayors Take the Lead” in Newsweek’s 2007 Earth Day issue

3. Mission To build, serve and drive a movement of local governments to advance deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and achieve tangible improvements in local sustainability.
